On September 6, 1939, Rzeszów was bombed by the Luftwaffe.  The town was defended by the 10 Cavalry Brigade and 24th Uhlan Regiment.  The German attack began on September 6 in the afternoon, and the Wehrmacht entered the city on the next day in the morning. Rzeszów, renamed into Reichshof, became part of the General Government, in 1941 a ghetto was opened there, whose Jewish inhabitants were later murdered in Bełżec extermination camp.
