Most of the Polish posters were created later, and not in Warsaw, but in London and Moscow. Looking at the Second World War by Polish eyes:

    ​Overloaded with slogans and quotes, the poster of 1939 says that violence can only be overcome by force, that «we will not give up our own — we will defeat the aggressor», and also quotes Marshal Edward Rydz-Smigly: «In the event of war, every man, regardless of age, and every woman will be soldiers» - Highlights for Warspot: Winged Hussars in the sky | Warspot.net
