Scenario Description
In return for territory that was disputed over with Poland, Slovakia agreed to aid Germany in the invasion of Poland. The deployment of the 1st Slovakian Infantry Division was the most advanced, and thus it was most ready for immediate action. On 2 September the division began to push across the frontier, moving in a line along a 40-kilometer front. The Slovakians met little resistance until 5 September, when the division began to threaten the withdrawal towards the east of several Polish units.

Battle Narrative
The invasion of Poland marked the beginning of World War II. The German invasion began on 1 September 1939, one week after the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, and one day after the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union had approved the pact. The Soviets invaded Poland on 17 September. The campaign ended on 6 October with Germany and the Soviet Union dividing and annexing the whole of Poland under the terms of the German–Soviet Frontier Treaty.
