History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]

The cutting off of an entire German army at Stalingrad , and its later capture was the first major defeat for the Germans

That was some battle...

The fact is Germany was fighting in a number of different theaters... Period...

After the Germans abandoned Operation Sea Lion, Britain was mostly just kept isolated, a few divisions tied down in North Africa was nothing to a few hundred in Russia, only after America joined the war in the European theater and with the Brits landed in Sicily and Hitler had to halt operations during the Battle of Kursk to send troops to Italy like the 1st SS Panzer Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler from Kursk, 1st Parachute Division and 29th Panzergrenadier Divisions from Germany and France or later the Fourteenth Army after the Anzio Landings can one say it was a war in multiple theaters.

You're kidding right? A few Blenheims?

Yea maybe today that would have been considered alot but not in WWII in a sea of hundreds of divisions.

Maybe you're right and Polish historians exaggerate things, as if Poles didn't try and Polonize Lithuanians or Ukrainians themselves. Hitler? He would have done this...

Oh please, if Bismarck had wanted mass murdered Poles he would had done so.
Instead Poles could plan their resistance openly in their own free polish media, had their own representants in the prussian Reichstag and a growing middle class which got so wealthy and influential to make wrinkles on german nationalists foreheads.

What about his Germanisation of the Province of Posen?

Otto von Bismarck

Except that great wise Prussian saw the world without Poles canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4757
And i wonder if this was true "On April 24, 1939, when Hitler terminated his non-aggression pact with Poland, he was furious that Poland rejected his offer of friendship and alliance.

Hitler made such an offer for the first time as early as August 5, 1935 when he declared that good Polish-German relations were of primary importance to him. He wanted a military alliance with Poland and Japan against the Soviet Union to which he had no land access. Poland's territory constituted a physical barrier between Germany and the Soviets.

Apparently Hitler's "best case scenario" was to attack the Soviets with some 600 divisions: 220 German, 200 Japanese, 100 Polish and 80 of other nations,
without having to fight on the western front. He hoped to mobilize in Poland some 10% of the population, or over three and half million men.

When Poland refused, Hitler put in practice Bismarck's plans and committed mass murder in Poland."

Incidentally, he's not blaming you

He's blaming my people that's blaming me

I think you need to brush up on your history - they most certainly weren't too liked in the II RP!

Yes i know but they still remained there and didn't leave

Germany lost the war because this psycho Hitler attacked too many countries at the time and because of a very cold winter in the SU.

I always wondered how the war had turned out if Poland joined Germany on it's crusade, Poland could have provided millions of soldiers to the cause, plus having a large neighbor on a friendly footing would have be very beneficial to Germany in the long run.

Pole-basher Gross up to old tricks

F**k him. Just like a Jew. Ungrateful pr**k Poles saved thousands of his ugly people and he goes and blames us for their suffering, every other country in Europe showed them the rear we took them in, let them live there for centuries and this is the thanks we get.

tell me where the Germans gathered so much experience before the WW2

It was their organizational skills and discipline in the Wehrmacht that's put them on top of other armies, Soviets even after they gained experience didn't have much discipline they knew they didn't have anyone to help them if a German bullet didn't kill them a blocking unit would, plus when they poured into Poland and Germany rape and plunder became vastly more important than fighting.

History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]

the Soviets had

~3.2 million initial (later 5 million more)
12,000-15,000 tanks,
35,000-40,000 aircraft (11,357 combat ready on 22 June 1941)[2]

From the end of the 1920's the Soviets armed themselves intensively, in the first Five Year Plan the Soviet Union spent 12.6% of it's budget on the military, after the start of the third Five Year Plan in 1938 no less than 30%!! From 1930 to 1937 the production of aircraft, tanks, and artillery tripled.The result was a 5 million man armed forces. By 1942 Stalin wanted to invade Europe.

I'm repeating myself to the point of puking on my own shoes, untill 1943 when Germany was effectively beaten at Kursk it was fighting on one front.

Africa should not be counted because it was just 5 divisions.

Even Sok can be funny sometimes. Hitler constantly neglected to send Romel more divisions as he saw North Africa of second importance, actually they shouldn't have been there at all. No German was gonna inhabit the desert and Russia had more than enough raw materials, i think they were there to simply drag the British Army out into a desert battle and destroy it.

By Day 17 of the attack, 300,000 Russians had been captured, 2,500 tanks, 1,400 artillery guns and 250 aircraft captured or destroyed.

Russians also had quick victories on a large scale, Operation Bagration 22 June 1944 to 19 August 1944 through eastern Poland and Belarus for example where 20 German divisions simply disappeared.

As the war progressed and surviving soldiers passed on their skills more and more Red Army troopers became the nightmare with the gun that Germans were so frightened of rather than a scared civilian with a rifle they faced initially.

By 1944 the Red Army soldier became a formidable adversary the large losses of men to the very end of war were do to either incompetent officers or officers who didn't care about saving lives, Zhukov's men hated him he didn't spare them at all, Stalin forced soldiers to sacrifice themselves for gaining a city by a certain date no matter the cost, usually some socialist anniversary.

Red Army would just fight for him and a russian soldier under german command would be un-f*cking-stoppable.

In his book Panzer Battles Major General Friedrich von Mellenthin writes "no westerner can ever understand the character of a Russian, with mood swings from genuine kindness to ferocious brutality from walking over corpses of thousands of their fallen comrades to panicking after a singe gun shot the Red Army soldier is very unstable"

BB those were ethnic Poles (mostly) fleeing Poland using various relatives

1,104,000 Germans stayed in Poland after WWII and accepted Polish citizenship, 150,000 are left today close to a million went to Germany during the 80's, it fits.

It's not negative. And only reason i even care is because i know how people from Silesia likes to deny their polish roots.

Well Silesians are not ethnic Polish nor are Kasubians or Lemkos just other Slavic minorities.

Are there any documentary films about the Battle of Bautzen in which the Polish 5th Infantry Division and 16th Tank Brigade of the 2nd Polish Army were surrounded by German Panzer and Panzergrenadier forces? There isn't much footage about it.
