Today at 7 p.m. the first episode of a five-part series, presenting the September 1939 defensive campaign, will appear on the IPN’s social media profiles. The weekly instalments – with Polish voice-over but English subtitles - will tell the story of the events that took place 80 years ago. The first one covers the opening week of the war, from 1 to 7 September.
On 1 September the IPN’s social media profiles launched a new series entitled "Heroes of September 39”, devoted to less known characters who distinguished themselves when defending their country.
The #OTD1939 hashtag on Twitter will provide you with daily insight into the events of September 1939 .
