In the Polish fields, women continued to work in the potato crops and other food plantations as a result for the necessity for food despite the growing danger of Nazi Soldiers who came with the invasion. Women had to choose between digging and picking in order to feed their family and face the danger of being shot down by machine guns, or starving in their cellars. Peasants really could not afford to make this choice.

The radio played a very important role in the start and throughout WW2 as it was the main source of communication for both sides- in this case- both Poland and Germany. One of the main German strategies was having the Blitzkrieg drop bombs on radio and radio stations in order to reduce the velocity of the news traveling to Polish troops, government officials, and citizens. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain went on national radio to solemnly announce that Britain was at war with Germany. Australia, New Zealand, and India followed suit shortly after.

United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt created what he called as his " Map Room" in order to monitor military activities around the globe. Through the Map Room, Roosevelt communicated with Allied leaders around the globe, including Churchill, Stalin, and Chiang Kai-Shek.  Maps posted in the room were used to track the locations of land, sea and air forces. Because of the Map Room, Roosevelt was able to better organize and assess Nazi Germany movement into Poland. This showed the worldwide impact of the Nazi Invasion in Poland as other leaders felt the pressure to keep close contact with allies and information regarding updates of foreign military movements.

A New York Times Article discussing Nazi Germany's invasion and destruction of Poland in 1939. This reveals the extent of significance that the invasion had across the world as the United States suddenly had to define their role in the new European conflict.  The idea of joining the war did not have widespread support amongst the American people. There was a widespread feeling that the American involvement in World War I had been a mistake, and the concept of Isolation was still prevalent throughout society. In addition, several economic constraints hindered any immediate reaction. Thus, President Roosevelt opted for American neutrality.

Nazi leader Adolf Hitler believed that the conquest of Poland would bring Lebensraum, or “living space,” for the German people. His plan had it so that the "racially superior" Germans would colonize the territory and the native Slavs would be enslaved. To avoid having the USSR coming to Polish aid, Hitler signed a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union on August 23, 1939. A secret part of the agreement included that the ideological enemies agreed to divide Poland between them. The German- Soviert Pact of August 1939 stated that Poland was to be divided between the two powers, enabling Germany to attack Poland without the fear of Soviet intervention.

The Blitzkrieg was introduced with the beginning of WW2 and the invasion of Poland. It was based on two key weapons- the tank and the airplane. The German air force destroyed the Polish air force because of the Blitzkrieg's ability to bomb roads, railways, and concentrated Polish troops. The invention and use of the Blitzkrieg marked the end of the use of mounted cavalry.

When the Nazi's invade Poland, the hospitals were already filled and crowded. Women with infants were in especially in danger when under attack, and they were moved from the wards to the cellar floors and forced to sit with their infants in their laps while war raged on outside. This is significant because babies as young as a few days old were already becoming exposed to war and death and titled as casualtys of war. Life just started for them and their already facing the threat of it ending as a result of German invasion.
