3. Which weapons weren't used?

4. Which half? What about first half? In opposition to 'well known fact' Poland didn't lost their planes on earth in the first day of war. And what is more important, our air force fought with Germans, and they lost 1/4 of their planes, and much more damaged.

5. Last thing is simple. For what? He wanted Polish people to stay alive, what would give us a fight with soviets in this situation? Nothing but death of our soldiers.

[KingPeterI]

And when Germans are out, would would their army do to Poland? And about Russia, Russia was a weakling what we have destroyed many times. Remember half of Poland was still not occupied by Germans, those lands were mobilizing and ready to fight reds any time.

[StormtrooperPL]

Germany was much wealthier than Poland, and Soviet Union also... that's obvious. Germs had 80 mln people, russia had far more than 100 mln.

2. We had no chance in alone war with Russia and Germany. We needed alies.

3. It was used in 1939.

4. Yeah, why? because they were old and in bad condition. In these times innovations was comming quickly. We had no money...

5. Ok, we know this now, but then nobody known that. And what is more important Germans had not many tanks, they had 2 mln soldiers...

[StormtrooperPL]

You think we could destroy russia? Nice. What we could do in XVII, XIX century, or in Bolshevic War 1920 was not so easy to do after years of reforms in soviet army. In 1920 aprox. 700 thousands russians fought with us. In 1939 it could be a few milions...

Half of Poland, called "Poland B", because of industrial underdevelopedement, wasn't a good place to prepare solid, supplied defence.

[KingPeterI]

Why did not give the orders to let the other half of the Polish air force fly and destroy German planes instead of keeping them in hangers. And another thing, why did he tell Polish Soldiers to not fight with Russians?

[StormtrooperPL]

1. It is not Śmigły's fault that air force was weaker than sowiet and german. Both enemies was much more wealthy and had bigger industrial possibilities. Poland had many problems, and many expenses. Failure of "Wilk" Fighter Project was minister Rayski's fault.

2. This strategy was based on reciving a help from western allies. Poland was to hold out for a few weeks and wait for allied offensive. There was possibility that Germs take Gdańsk and western Poland and stop their attack.

Poland had no chance against Nazi Germanys and Soviet Russias allied forces, but despite that poles proved theirselves as brave warriors in WW2. Greetings to all poles!

[mikolajoskierko]

Fuck it, that`s the price of ally like Russia, they needed to forget about us. But it was BIGGEST mistake of this war that France didn`t attack Germany in septembr `39, but waited behind Maginot Line for nazis attack for a YEAR!

@StormtrooperPL

The AIr Force was being developed too late in sufficient quantities because up to about 1935, the Polish military strategists believed that it was only good for support; the Army heads did obstruct building of more PLZ.37's and training of more air crews. It was, pehaps, the biggest mistake the Polish military strategists made!

[Spudskie]

72 years ago on this date, Germany invaded Poland. Poland fought back as best they could against hopeless odds.

[biggrigga]

@KatolickieScierwo Yeah half the nations budget wasn't sufficient...that would piss me off.

[biggrigga]

@mikolajoskierko Yeah true, even when the Germans marched into the Rhineland in 1936, the French could have stopped it and maybe even deposed Hitler all together, but noooooooooo....

[KatolickieScierwo]

They definitely should have trained more and harder

[SkibaFelix]

UK/US, the Dual Global Empire, should make no comments about the Poles before they learn to fight heir own wars.

Winning every battle in Vietnam and the war is lost.

Winning every battle in Iraq and the war will be lost.

Why?

"Freedom Fries"

the answer is: neither can win without the leadership of the French.

On the other hand; the political aim of the US/UK in Iraq is:

Not To Win.

Because stable Iraq qould have hiked up the oil prices.

[SubScoprion]

Most people Poland officiers was killed by Stalin

[KingPeterI]

1. In English "wealthier" means "richer" not "more populous"

2. Yea, look at Weserplatte and Wizna and see for yourself that Poland fought well.

3. Some. Not all. Read even at Wikipedia. It says that only some soldiers used it.

4. No. Planes could fight anytime, just had no orders.

5. So we got so Cavalry for the German Soldiers.

6. Look at the war in Finland. Those fins fought with soviets and won.
