Detailed explanation-1: -By the 27 September 1939, just 26 days after invasion, Poland surrendered to the Nazis. Following the surrender, the Nazis and the Soviets divided Poland between them, as had been secretly agreed in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The western area of Poland was annexed into the Greater German Reich.
Detailed explanation-2: -The immediate cause was the intrusion of Poland by Nazi Germany on September 1, 1939, and the ensuing affirmations of battle on Germany made by Britain and France, yet numerous other earlier occasions have been proposed as extreme causes. The political takeover by Hitler led to the idea of the invasion.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the end, German losses totaled 14, 000 dead or missing and 30, 000 wounded out of a total of 1, 250, 000 troops involved in the invasion; Polish casualties numbered 66, 000 dead, 130, 000 wounded, and 400, 000 captured out of 800, 000 troops.
Detailed explanation-4: -Poland’s eastern border was moved westward and, as a result, Poland lost more than 70, 000 square miles of territory to the Soviet Union.
