86 Years Ago, Sunday, 3 September 1939

France and the United Kingdom declare war on Germany but take little immediate action that succors their Polish allies.  German forces advancing from East Prussia to the south reach the Vistula River.  The Luftwaffe has destroyed the main Polish air bases in the past 48 hours forcing the remaining Polish aircraft to operate from dispersal locations without benefit of fixed logistical support.  The Luftwaffe rapidly gained air superiority and used it to decimate Polish lines of communication.
