in defense of the french, which did totally token offensive taking some border villages which on paper honors the contract with Poland but was very dishonest of course, the month of the invasion was a big problem for the allies. If the War would have started in lets say june, french&GB would have attacked germany in September, while even if victorious, most of its troops wouldn't be deployed in the west. But because the winter break in war, germany had the time to redeploy its troops and prepare a couple of invasion.

In fact, most of those things you listed there took place at different times and under different circumstances, not at the same time. This means the US could divert troops as it needed to in the war. Poland did not have that luxury. I guarantee you that if Canada and Mexico was more powerful than the US and on flat terrain like Poland, the US would not fare as well against them. Please be more logical in your historical analysis. Also, Poland did not surrender during WW2, no conditions of surrender were ever signed and the government continued to function, though in exile.

Don't forget you were very pacifist back then, it took Pearl Harbor to wake you up. Of course, that would rather not be possible, cause no one had enough troops nor transports to perform such an attack. Partially the result of overall US strength, partially the job of the oceans to defend the US. But don't cry that it someone "easily surrendered" when you never where in situation even remotely as hard. It would be a fair comparison to see how the French did, even though: - they only had to fight the Germans (no Soviets) and had British support, - weren't numerically inferior, - had a fair warning time to mobilize, - plus they had strong defenses in place built-up for years and overall short border to protect. I am sure they did better... Oh, nope, just around 40 days. The difference proportionate to the difference in distance from capital to the German border :)

They weren't outnumber, despite they though that, and while they equipment had serious downfalls (french tanks being 1 men turrets and bad radios for example), so did the Germans. The main force of german tanks were tanks (panzer 1&2) that were never suppose to actually fight a war but rather as training tanks. Those should not have worked so well against the allies.

This turned out to be a good tactic as it disrupted the German formations and reduced the battle to a series of individual dog fights which suited the British forces as they had better maneuverability. They fought like demons to defend our homeland so that we could liberate there's, and we gave there homeland to Russia.

Majority of Danzigers were German, and scared by propaganda that the Poles were out to get them. My grandpa recalled the advice that while on the beach on the Polish coast, you should be careful not to accidentally wander onto FCD land or you might be caught and beat up by some Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth). Westerplatte was a Polish military base on the territory of the FCD. There was actually also a Polish Post Office in Danzig which witnessed what is considered a heroic defense.

Poland was badass in the interwar period. They fought the Soviet union and beat Trotsky in the field, besting one of the best Field Marshals in the world (Tukachevksy) to do it. They knew what was coming and structured their army to be ready to fight WW2, not WW1. They tried repeatedly to build an alliance of eastern european states, because they knew that Russia and Germany couldn't be trusted. And even then, when betrayed by the allies (See: Phony War) and the Soviets (See: The Polish-Soviet Non Aggression Pact), they still took almost a month to fall in a two front war against the great industrial powerhouses of Europe. It was Polish intelligence, that cracked the Enigma, Polish pilots that fought in the skies above Britain. Even once the Soviets moved in, the Poles were constant agitators that Russia was constantly having to suppress to keep in line. The reason why Poland fell the first time was internal instability: They had a foolish parliament that required literally a unanimous vote to pass any law, resulting in almost total anarchy. The reason why Poland fell the second time was because her allies abandoned her, and she stood alone. Now she's swinging hard right Falangist, but the question ought to be asked, why?

A large portion of Polish army was cavalry because it was better prepared to operate in the roadless Eastern front - which is the war that we were planning to fight until 1938. Western diplomacy made Poland start war with Der Führer, meanwhile getting rearmed and prepared. Once the alliances shifted, the Western diplomacy quickly sold Poland to Stalin and didn't allow Poland to participate in the Victory parade in London. Profit? Profit. 😎

Poles prepared 2 plans. One which included joining the anticommitern or creating an allied axis of France, Britain and East. European states i.e. Baltics, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania. All of this failed as Polish government was incompetent. Making a stand on a foreign policy was something unreachable for the corrupted and pitiful sanacja. Firstly they reclaimed lost land in Zaolzie meanwhile losing any potential chance to make an alliance with Czechoslovakia, didnt went for the anticommitern fearing USSR intervention and eventually making Poland a battleground for 3rd Reich/USSR conflict. Eventually all of this stack up to become a ww2.

You're possibly right, but in their defense, you cannot make an accurate assessment if you ignore the hellish experiences of WW1. Even though they were the victors, the UK and France lost so much that even over 20 years later their scars could still be felt. Towns who lost so many of their young men, people who came home not in one piece, both physically and mentally, widows still grieving for the lost ones who will never return. Additionally, France's government was incredibly unstable, so any coherent grand strategy from them outside of a solid defense was probably out of the question. As for the UK, there's a reason why Chamberlain's appeasement attempts were initially popular at first. Your nation literally threw away an entire generation of men into the grinder of ww1, a generation that is lost forever. How would you react if your leaders suddenly demanded that another generation be sent into that very same horrific grinder? I doubt that the public would have been very welcome to an offensive strategy that could potentially result in massive casualties, especially if looked from a WW1-era perspective.

The decision of defending the borders was most likely because Poles knew that GB-FR were fickle allies, to say the least, and if Rydz-Śmigły would retreat to places better suited for defence (mostly lines of rivers) they could be less inclined to come with quick support ("if they do not want to fight for their homeland, then why should we care"). As history shown, his allies were even "ficklier" then he anticipated....
@Qba865 жыл бұрын
It is my understanding that Rydz-Śmigły made that decision out of fear that the Germans would just grab some Polish territory and then keep it. This was a mistake, as it allowed the Germans to encircle some of the best Polish troops. Obviously this didn't matter in the long run. Once the Soviets attacked from the east, we were boned. BTW: In the agreement with France and GB Poland guaranteed that its army would remain in a fighting condition for at least 3 months after the invasion. I'm not sure that would be feasible even without the Soviets.

It always amazes me how the leaders of France & Britain at the time were just the most incompetent people in history. It isn’t covered on Extra Credits but it is covered by the series on Netflix: When the Nazis turned their attention towards France, reconnaissance planes actually managed to spot a massive pileup of men and armor about to punch through the Ardennes. And the French general chose to ignore the reports. Whereas if he’d acted upon them, it could’ve prevented the Nazi occupation of his country. Combine that with how they handled the Polish situation, (in both this video and the next) it’s no wonder that the Germans brought Europe to its knees in those early years.

No reason for France to send their boys to die rescuing what couldn't be rescued anymore. Poland lost the war not because of the lack of French help, the French couldn't help because Poland already lost the war.
