The siege was marked by intense fighting, as Polish defenders aimed to protect the city against overwhelming enemy numbers and advanced weaponry. Despite their bravery, the Polish forces were ultimately unable to withstand the siege. The city fell to the Germans on September 28, 1939, leading to the occupation of Warsaw and the beginning of a harsh regime. This event was a crucial part of the broader invasion of Poland, which marked the start of the war in Europe.
