...according to schedule the reels unwound. In this instalment the world was to learn what the Nazi-Communist Armies' division of Poland was to be. It found out (see p. 29). All manner of meaning lay upon that carving, who got what, and why; how closely Hitler and Stalin were collaborating, and for how long; in which direction, if any, Stalin planned to go-and here was the answer, more perplexing than the problem itself.

Led by its air pilots and big tanks, it rattled into Poland along all main east-west highways on a 500-mile front, from the Dzwina River (above Polotsk) on the north to the Dniester (Rumanian border) on the south.
