Other color photos showing destroyed German bomber He-111 near the Bartoszewicza Street, Polish soldiers fighting during the Second World War, fleeing civilians and the Old Town.

High quality for it's time and a rare color photo taken during WW2, showing the aftermath of a very historically important event: the German Invasion of Poland which started World War II
