Anaheim, Calif., Sept. 14, 1939 The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newspaper GREY FRIDAY— EASTERN FRONT—World War II began at 5:20 a.m. (Polish time) Friday, September 1, when a German bombing plane dropped a projectile on Puck, fishing village and air base in the armpit of the Hel Peninsula. At 5:45 a.m. the German training ship Sehleswig-Holstein lying off Danzig fired what was believed to be the first shell: a direct hit on the Polish underground ammunition dump at Westerplatte. It was a grey day with gentle rain. Out of a welter of sketchy bulletins, counter-claims and unpronounceable names flowing from Poland, the broad outlines of Germany's assault began to take shape. Recapture of what was Germany in 1914 was the first objection: Danzig, the corridor, and a hump of Upper Silesia. It is believed that Adolf Hitler, if allowed to take and keep this much, might have checked his juggernaut at these lines for the time being. When Britain and France insisted that he withdraw entirely from Polish soil or consider himself at war with them, he determined on the complete shattering and subjugation of Poland. Ordering his other generals to hold the western front, he made the gesture of joining General von Brauchitsch "somewhere" on the Polish front. Weather, next to stomachs, is war's most basic consideration. Six perdictably fair weeks of Polish autumn lay ahead for action on the fat Polish plains. Then will come rains which the Poles hope will bog down the German juggernaut on the purposely unpaved roads leading in from the borders. In the mountain passes on the south soon will come snow to aid the defenders. Grand strategy of the Polish armies was to retire slowly, conserve manpower, shorten their lines. Ultimate core of Polish defense is the triangular central region of industry (C.G.P.) between Cracow on the west, Lwow on the east, Lublin on the north. Into this area, guarded by highlands, served by two rivers, Poland two years ago moved her vital steel and munitions works, built power plants, at a cost of $200,-000,000. If forced back into her triangle, Poland can expect direct aid only through her southeast postern, the valley of the Dniester down to added Germany completely from the North Sea to the Skagerrak. This action, now that Germany had access to Russia's food and raw materials, meant less than it did in World War I unless the British were prepared for the desperate adventure of forcing and commanding the Baltic. No gun was heard in western Europe on Black Sunday, but soon after midnight, The Netherlands listened to wave after wave of thrumming, high-flying airplanes speeding southeast-by-east along the coast. Monday brought word that some of these planes had "bombarded" Germany with 6,-000,000 propaganda leaflets in German. From Britain's air bases in the Midlands to Germany's naval bases at Cuxhaven, Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbuttel is some 500 miles. Both sides presently acknowledged that British bombers had gone to work on Germany's fleet at these ports, Britain claiming damaging hits on at least two battleships, Germany claiming to have shot down five out of 12 bombers. Meanwhile Germany struck at Britain by torpedoing the S. S. Athenia off the Hebrides. Of the 1,450 passengers 313 were Americans. Speedy rescue saved all but about 40. All down the long Maginot line, heavy guns started talking at dawn Monday. By nightfall of the first day the French were believed to have launched two high-powered flanking attacks, one at the "Burgundy Gate" or "Belfort Gap" just above the Swiss border another into the Moselle valley just below Luxemburg. Masses of mobile troops were ready for infiltration maneuvers, to penetrate between gaps in the west wall which, unlike the Maginot line, rather a series of sunken forts with tank traps and interlocking underground tunnels, than a continuous defense bastion.

Into this area, guarded by highlands, served by two rivers, Poland two years ago moved her vital steel and munitions works, built power plants, at a cost of $200,-000,000. If forced back into her triangle, Poland can expect direct aid only through her southeast postern, the valley of the Dniester down to Rumania and the Black sea. Clearly seen last week was the reason why Poland, when Hitler carved Czecho-Slovakia, stood watchful guard over those Carpathian peaks which frown down on the Dniester valley. When Hungarians rushed in and seized the Carpatho-Ukraine (eastern tip of Czecho-Slovakia), Poles embraced them at their new common border, for Hungary is traditionally Poland's friend. Much depends for Poland on Hungary's continued neutrality, for only by marching around through Hungary, unless he fights through from Cracow to Lwow, can Hitler sever the artery (river, railroad, broad highway) by which France and Britain may give Poland blood transfusions via the Mediterranean. M-O-T BLACK SUNDAY— WESTERN FRONT—Peace for Great Britain ended at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 3, for France six hours later. Strict censorship masked the question of who fired the first shot on the western front. The Germans had sworn it would not be they... Their basic strategy was to hold their west wall (Siegfried or Limes line) from the Ruhr to the Alps. Allied strategy was to bring such pressure as would sap strength from the German drive into Poland. General understanding was that the French would conduct all operations by land, with the infantry reinforced at first only by a few mechanized British divisions. The British would take the lead at sea and in the air. First news was that the British royal navy, already at battle stations, controlled the Mediterranean at both ends and had block- MERLE·E·WEST PRESENTS Mr. Merlin and Monty Monty, how did you get rid of your dandruff?

First never were three news items more heartily welcomed by the Italian people. In Rome's streets and cafes there were handshaking, black-slapping, happy chortling until Mussolini's police impressed upon his people that such joy was unseemly in a nation which was supposed to be learning how to love war and think it beautiful. Fact was, Mussolini's reasons for staying neutral were not all happy ones. Whereas, Hitler behind his west wall was comparatively safe for the time being from the wrath of Great Britain and France, Mussolini was in just about the world's hottest spot. One martial move by him, he well knew, and Italy would suffer the full fury of the French army and two navies. She would probably lose Ethiopia, have to fight hard to hold Libya and not starve. And the Turks would make life unbearable by driving behind the Greeks at Albania. There were a lot of other unhappy reasons for Mussolini's neutrality: the Italian people are fed up with the efficiency experts and barking generals sent among them by Hitler to improve their working and fighting. Hitler's deal with Stalin affronted fascism, despite feverish rationalizations. Italy would not have Spain, now, to hamper France's rear. That alliance of godless ones affronted also the Roman Catholic faith. Italy is dirt poor. Above all, though Mussolini can pep them up enormously, the Italian people do not honestly like to fight. But strong as those sorry reasons were, two splendid ways of looking at his neutrality remained to Il Duce. In the military situation created by the west wall-Magninot line stalemate, a neutral Italy, blocking access to Germany via the Tyrolean passes, had tremendous nuisance value. It would force Britain and France to go around through the Daraa. 12 Days Left To Register It is necessary for you to register if: 1. You have never registered. 2.
