      Dude, you need to tell the whole story. England talked them into the war, Poland wanted an alliance with germany against Sovietunion but the german haters got backed up by english lies. Furthermore tell the astrocities poland committed before the war on germans and in the occupied terretories and tell that the german soldiers stood still when the polish soldiers surrender and they let them took their weapons with them becasue of the bravery fighting. Don't cry now if you don't know the truth, I know and you should start digging it out and you will find much more dirt on polish flag what they have committed after WW1 and WW2.

      @@BigBossSherlock you just told 0% truth. Germany before invading Poland used propaganda and staged an attack from “poles”. These “poles” were Germans in polish military uniforms faking an attack on German soldiers, which gave them a justification. The people of Germany believed this and Germany attacked. Germany massacred millions of poles and Jews everywhere in Europe, and name the war crimes Poland did in ww2, they were defending not attacking, poles fought bravely and what do you mean by Germans giving them guns? It doesn’t make sense, you should learn the history because nothing what you said was true. And Poland never formally surrendered so I don’t know what drugs you’re on. Poland never wanted an alliance with Germany as they threatened Danzig 💀, and the brits had bad relations with Germany due to the First World War, the Great War, the brits tried to be civil which is why they didn’t even attack Germany when declaring war, same with France. And so you say brits talk them into war when they fought Germany in the First World War? Germany attacked the brits too you know, and Hitler was announcing their attacks on Europe, Britain had nothing to do with starting the war.

    Poland fought for a month despite facing both the soviets and the Nazis from all sides, with all cards against them. They waited for the promised help of other commonwealth countries. The help never came. After the war, Poland got essentially sold to became a soviet puppet state by the 3 bowling balls in charge (Roosvelt, Stalin and Churchill). Poland was also one of the first countries to break away from the soviet block in 1989.

      @buckplug2423 2 місяці тому

      Casualties are more than just dead. The media often portrays war as this clean affair where a number of men are charging and they either get shot and die, or keep charging. This is how a typical situation looks like - a platoon encounters the enemy, who fires upon them with machine guns and mortars. After a brief exchange, the platoon retreats. In that engagement, 3 men were either blown to hundreds of pieces with direct mortars hits, had their heads split open with machine gun fire, or took so many bullets and shrapnel they bled out - they're dead. Then, around 5-6 men had their limbs blown off, their spines cracked and broken, their intestines or brain ruptured by the explosion waves - they survived, but will never fight again. Then you have, say, 7 men who's muscles were partially blown off from bullets or shrapnel, or who's legs and arms were hit but who luckily didn't bleed out, or who were concussed heavily from the blasts, or who's joints and bones were broken by the chaos around them - they're out of the fight for a few months, but they'll be back. All of the above are CASUALTIES. Now, for the men who got grazed by bullets or who - and this happens way more often than people think - sprained their ankle or who were only lightly concussed - they're injured, but they can still fight after a few minutes.
      Anything that takes a man out of a fight for a longer period of time makes him a casualty. Which is interestingly also why you may often see the enemy claiming to destroy the same amount of equipment numerous times offer - they damage it, but it gets repaired and comes back.
      Either way, war is hell.

      First of all Germany didn't win the war, they simply won the Battle of Poland overall.
      Secondly, the Germans weren't often humilitated by the Poles, fierce resistance from defending forces that position themselves in a very defensible location usually leads to higher casualties from the attacker. As seen here. Nothing humiliating happening here, just fierce Polish resistance and German attacks

    What kind of boolshit it is? Where you got this data from? 3k+ Germans? Did you count the whole crew of Schleswig-Holstein? Even with them it would be only around 1k, so... the whole police in Danzig?
    On the first day, Germans sended one company of marines, bit more than 200 man strong. In the second half of the day they reinforced it with a platoon of SS. Other units (mostly SS and militarised Police) were added later, same with heavy land-base artilery.
    And already on the first day, foreward outpost "Prom" and "Wał" was forced back and for the rest of the battle defence was hold on the line of the strongholds in the middle of the peninsula. Further than you show Germans reaching on the september 7.
    Also - the shape of the peninsula was changed during the cold war, the place where outpost "Prom" was is now under water. Using modern map for this simulation is pointless.
