| While Hitler was carrying out a “blitzkrieg” (lightning war) plan against Poland, Stalin decided that the time had come to get his part of Poland. Under the guise of a “peaceful campaign” to liberate the Ukrainians and Belarusians oppressed by Poland, Soviet aircraft bombed cities, and tanks hit the rear of the Pole fighting with Germany. Thus, Poland was captured from both sides by Germany and the USSR. The map shows which cities were captured by Germany and which were the USSR. Germany captured: Gdansk, Gdynia, Modlin, Krakow, Lublin, Warsaw.
The USSR captured the eastern regions of Poland: Brest, Rovno, Lutsk, Lvov.
