On October 1, the German army prepared to occupy Warsaw. But before, it required twelve hostages - ten Christians and two Jews - who would respond with their lives for any disturbances that occur as the troops advanced. Upon entering the city, the Germans installed campaign kitchens and distributed soup and bread to the hungry population for free. Hundreds of people went there. Immediately, German chamber operators set up their equipment and filmed German troops bringing food to the hungry Polish. After filming, both chamber operators and campaign kitchens disappeared.
On October 1, the German army was set to take control of Warsaw, but they demanded twelve hostages beforehand—ten Christians and two Jews—who would be held accountable for any unrest during the occupation. As the troops entered the city, they established mobile kitchens to provide free soup and bread to the impoverished residents, drawing hundreds to receive aid.
Simultaneously, German propaganda teams began filming scenes of their soldiers distributing food to the starving Polish citizens. However, after the footage was captured, both the camera crews and the kitchens vanished, highlighting the stark reality of the occupation beyond the facade of humanitarian aid.
