Voices from Hitler's Army - Episode 1 - Blitzkrieg
Episode 1 of 6.
Like old soldiers everywhere, they are fading away, but these German veterans of World War Two have an incredible and sometimes shocking story to tell. This is a unique opportunity to see and hear the last testimonies of Hitler's armies.

During the early months of World War Two, the world was introduced to a new and terrifying military concept - the tactic of Blitzkrieg. Country after country fell as a result of this new 'lightning war', until the seemingly unstoppable armies of the Third Reich stood on the coastline of Northern France.

@clovenrick Also 15,000 German dead against 95,000 Polish dead. Machines can be replaced soldiers cannot.

@clovenrick Sure I am not underestimating the bravery and courage of the Polish people against overwhelming odds in 1939, diring the Warsaw uprising and serving in the allied armies (Monte Casino etc) just that Germany was not damaged too much in 1939.

[Sp3tsnazFTW]

Everyone thought Germany swiftly took Poland. They did, but at a price. The Polish inflicted some deadly blows upon them.

[popper504]

Am I hearing this correctly? This documentary is stating that the campaign in Polan cost the german more casualties than France, Balkans, and the low countries combined?
