Original Contents | In margine alla Guerra sul fronte orientale: I profughi, trascinati nella ritirata dalle truppe polacche ripieganti di fronte all’irresistibile avanzata dell’esercito tedesco, tornano ai loro villaggi, dove vengono assistiti e rifocillati dai vincitori. Nelle varie città del Corridoio polacco, che alberga milioni di oriundi tedeschi, le truppe del Reich ricevono dovunque entusiastiche accoglienze. |
