Brooklyn Today
______
On this day in 1939, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle front page reported that the Polish army had driven the German army to retreat from parts of Warsaw. Just 10 days earlier, Germany had invaded Poland. The Polish radio station at Lwow reported heavy bombing from German planes, but did not mention casualties. Other Eagle front page stories that day reported that Warsaw would soon surrender to German forces.
