The Second World War began with the invasion of Poland and Hitler seemed unstoppable.

On the first of September 1939, Germany invaded Poland, triggering the Second World War. Hitler's air force kills thousands of innocent civilians. Within two weeks of the historic start of the Second World War, Warsaw is surrounded.

American photographer and cameraman Julien Brien has visited Warsaw. He witnesses the death and suffering in the beleaguered city, now a victim of the Second World War. In a broadcast on Polish radio, he directly addresses the American president to help.

Hitler assumes that the United States will not help Poland during the Second World War. Neither will Great Britain or France. The Second World War is the war Hitler always wanted. Britain and France declare war on Germany, but remain inactive. The last chance to put Hitler in his place was missed.
