| Details |
Map of Poland showing the progress of the German invasion. The thick black line represents the Polish line of defence at the time of printing, while the border between the darker tint and lighter tint shows their line from the week before. The dark tint represents the territory taken by Germany a week or more before printing and the lighter tint, territory fallen to Germany most recently. Looking on the other side of the Polish defence line, now a mere loop around the Warsaw area, the lightest tint represents the territory taken by the "rescuing" Russian forces. The Sphere describes the stand at Warsaw as the "one bright spot" left of the Polish military situation.
