In January 1940 there were only two newsreels where Polish soldiers were visible in Polish uniform.

Journal de Guerre, nr. 15. , 13 Jan 1940.


Magyar világhíradó (Hungarian World Newsreel), nr. 829., Jan 1940.

Before 1940 there was made a setting of the Chief Commander of the Polish Army, Edward Rydz-Smigly, which became known from another movie in 1941.

May 1939.


Edward Rydz-Smigly's figure in the movie Heimkehr in a fictive newsreel, which was edited cynically based on the pictures of the Polish Independence jubilee events.


While the Heimkehr was spotted, the Marshal - who had the number one in the toplist of the Secret State Police - hided himself in Budapest, Boulevard Margit.
Bld. Margit nr. 4.


Bld. Margit nr 6.

The Marshal was hided under nr 6 - based on the film about him . But why is the Polish flag visible under nr. 4?


Let see samples of the Soviet cynism German newsreel. In some pictures of the movie Liberation Polish POWs are visible...

Katyn.
The German newsreel makes an interview with a Polish POW.
