The defeat of the German garrison required a month-long reduction of fortified positions, urban combat, and a final assault on the city's citadel by the Red Army, complete with medieval touches. Background The city of Poznań (called ''Posen'' in German) lay in the western part of Poland which had been annexed by Nazi Germany following its invasion of Poland in 1939 and was the chief city of Reichsgau Wartheland.

Bilet Poznan Stary
In demonology, Beleth, also spelled Bilet, Bileth, Byleth, or Bilith, is a king of Hell who has eighty-five legions of demons under his command. He rides a pale horse, and a variety of music is heard before him, according to most authors on demonology and the most known grimoires. According to '' Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'', Noah's son Ham was the first in invoking him after the flood, and wrote a book on mathematics with his help. When appearing, he looks fierce in order to frighten the conjurer or to see if he is courageous. The conjurer must be brave, and holding a hazel wand in his hand must draw a triangle by striking towards the south, east, and upwards, then commanding Beleth into it by means of some conjurations. The ''Dictionnaire Infernal The ''Dictionnaire infernal'' ( en, "Infernal Dictionary") is a book on demonology, describing demons organised in hierarchies. It was written by Jacques Collin de Plancy and first published in 1818. There were several edi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
