Witam....
I'm really hoping this thread doesn't become an argument, and I wanna avoid that b/c i just wanna learn about this, but...about ww2 and Poland, who really was the first to help poland?
Not so straight forward is it? - but very emotional as you can see. But for you - a what if scenario... but first -
As far as I could see, the UK lived up to their end of the deal...
The UK end of the deal was: In the case of a German invasion, the UK would do everything in it's power to help Poland. The UK and Franch were both much stronger and richer than Poland. UK had the largest navy. Franch had the largest army/defenses on the Planet. People were aware that war was looming for a long time. Time enough to be reasonably prepared. I doubt very much that the outbrake of war was a 'surprise'.
Very true!No one is to be blamed for what has happend to PL,but Poles.Looking for friends far away and making enemies close.Same thing is happening now...Allying with hitler was the only sane thing to do.Just like hungarians, romanians and few others did.
Someone has the set an example of how it's done - otherwise the whole of humanity will eventually go up your ass!
Dunkirk - both France and UK outnumbered by 2:1 held the Germans for 10 days and fled.
Westerplatte - Poles outnumbered 20:1 hold the Germans for 7 days, still able to fight but run out of ammo.
...
Here are the French half-heartedly attacking the Germans on the Western front and retreating. And yes they did drop leaflets at first! Not very usefull (for facks sakes).
The Poles are then seen counter attacking the Germans with cavalry support. More usefull.
(Note* No German tanks.)
...
The French could have held the Germans in the west like the Poles held them in the East -
if they were the same calibre of fighter as the Pole. Here is a typical example of the Polish fighting mentality, tenacity and heroism. Poles outnumbered 58:1! Held back the Germans.

The French could have done the same and allowed the Poles to complete and unleash the Wolf - which was in production.

The Los Polish bomber (produced before the Heinkel) was being refitted but a few
got into the air to bomb the Germans

The first plane to have twin wheels becuase of the extra large bomb bay

Are we saying that Poland was more advanced than the UK and France? Did the allies not have these capabilities on the western front?
Just imagine - what if the French and the Brits showed the same conviction, dedication, foresight as the Poles. Compared to the UK and France, Poland was nothing, but look how they fought! How long do you think the war would have lasted if France and the UK did the same?
If only they had helped. If only they had fought. If only.
We know a song about that don't we? :) ;)
