History / germany prepares for invasion of Poland [43]

Wouldn't that be the same as a man with a gun fighting a man with his hands tied behind his back?

Yes it would every war in the 20th centuary involving Poland wasnt started by Poland meaning we were always caught by suprise some people say was prepared for ww2 we only knew there was going to be an attack 2 days before the invasion,what can you do in 2 days?

To the guy above Poland was partitioned by prussia russia and asutria

History / German Russian aliance durring WWII - Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact [7]

Without russia germany would lose the war,
Poles would be able to hold of the germans but if we wouldnt,
Poles were planning on escaping to the Romanian boarder get some Romanian troops [Romania wanted to be on Polands side until Germany invaded them they allied with them to avoid war]and start a counter attack from there.

History / germany prepares for invasion of Poland [43]

Following the surrender of Polish forces on 2 October, German troops systematically burned the city block by block, leveling another 35% of the town.

russians and germans have always been making fun of Poles getting beaten

German forces were surrendering and crying to Poles during the Warsaw uprising they gtt owned by a force smaller and badly equipted.

In 1920 we sent the russians crying and begging for mercy in the Battle Of Warsaw

Who should be made fun of now?

that my grandfather himself tied the noose on a German corporal who had murdered 3 young children in the town.

You should be proud i cant imagine that.

Heres a story of my grandma.She was in the AK and Peasants battalion during the war she was 16 when the war started and was training to be a medic or something like that.She worked in a pharmacy and after she learned about the AK she decided to join and sneak medications to them etc.One day their was a Jewish teenager and some SS men were chasing her she ran in the pharmacy yelling sister help me!But sadly she didnt make it and died right in front of my grand mothers eyes.She also remembers walking home from the forest when she was passing by the cemetry she heard gun shots soo she hid and look in the bushes germans were slaughtering Men,Women,Kids and even babies safely she managed to run away.And my grandfather told me that in 1940 he was 16 yrs old and his brother was in the AK scince late 1939,a couple of of SS men gave their house away to some Romanian Facist i think and made them slaves so they ran away and were wanted soo one night his brother and him and couple of more people from the resistance came to that house quietly whispering to each other we`ll show them soo they threw a couple of mockaloctie cock tails at the house while they were sleeping and a couple of them ran out while they were on fire but they tried shooting but missed and died,Im proud that he did this because those facists beat my grandfather and tied him up and even beat his dad.

their only crime was to be fighting for a free Poland

Its very hard for me to tell you,I asked my grandfather who was with him during ww2 but i think he didnt understand me over the phone,Maybe when i go to Poland he`ll understand.But i can tell you he fought around the Zamosc Krasnystaw Izbica and tarnogora,Tarnogora is just i village and so is izbica i think it was a Ghetto at the time.

EDIT:I cant ask my Great uncle because unfortunaly he died in communist times and my dad doesnt really remember scince he died when he was very little.Off that topic now are their any stories you would like to share?
