Polish evacuation to Romania after the Soviet Invasion 1939

[Piotr Kapuscinski]

The video below (very unique and rare) is showing Polish withdrawal to Romania after the Soviet invasion of Poland:

We can see vehicular units of 151. or 152. Fighter Squadron, as well as some other units (some soldiers from an armoured unit can be seen, for example), crossing the Polish-Romanian border - the date is 18th of September 1939:

Many civilian refugees (most probably) can also be seen:

We can see equipment such as: PF 621 trucks (first two with petrol trailers), later radio station cars PF 618 with N1S radio station and two PF 508/18 with N2S radio stations, then some more cars and a Bofors 40mm Anti-Aircraft gun, later we can see some army (including some soldiers from armoured unit / units) and police units, as well as some civilians (maybe refugees ?):

This photo most probably shows a Polish motorized column attacked and destroyed by approximately 10 Soviet tanks from 72. Rifle Division supported by two infantry companies from the same division on 21.09.1939 or 20.09.1939, while it was withdrawing to Romania - this place is most probably somewhere near the bridge at the river Czeremosz:

Traces of tank Caterpillars can be seen:



Corporal Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz was a famous Polish writer and artist:



He was KIA there during combat against 10 Soviet tanks supported by 2 infantry companies from 72. Rifle Division on 21.09.1939, while defending the bridge at the river Czeremosz.

Between 20.09.1939 and 21.09.1939 Soviet forces finally blocked almost the whole remaining part of the Polish-Romanian border and filled it with strong guards - normal withdrawal was no longer possible - Polish forces could only try to break through since that moment.

One - maximum two days later, last parts of the Polish-Romanian border and the whole Hungarian-Polish border was captured by the Red Army and filled by strong garrisons - Polish withdrawal was blocked.

Fales photo!!!
This valley full with tracks and cars is done during Slovak uprising in 1944. There was also edited in Poland for many years as a proof of hasy evacuation in IX 39 to Rumania, but it is a flase photo done five years older.
So it is wrong to be put in this place!!!

The video isn't available any more, apparently it has been removed by the user.

Isn't that a Opel Blitz truck on the photo, left corner? Were those already in production and available in 39?
