So in this respect Poland was similar to South Africa? Plenty of natural resources and minerals but nobody with the savvy of how to help the community, just themselves?
Polish GDP grew 310% in 20 years, thats pretty savvy.
Let me explain to you how economy of a 100% agricultural Poland worked, you need to buy machines, train specialists and build factories, you also need to build infrastructure, secure resources to have that economy going and to make all those investments you needed
money.
Now if you're a poor country like Poland and your two immidiate neighbours embargo you, you cant purchase machines, train specialists and build up infastructure and building base all at once which is why polish economy while growing fast could not reach a level of an industrialised country in 20 years.
Successes everywhere? You really are a deluded man, you know that?
Aka Polish armies did not lose a single battle in the first 48 hours untill the 5th division collapsed (due to polish high command mess up by the way) so yes the border battle was a complete success everywhere for the first 2 days.
You know what, Sok, you are a classic Polish romantic. You cite all these technologies and hype up all those cavalry raids
I dont hype anything, cavalry was inferior to mechanized units if only by principle of suffering more then 10x losses in most engagements, i'm saying however that it was an effective fighting unit and its weakness as portrayed in the western media is a myth.
Germans didn't use Blitzkrieg in Poland? ROTFL! You are senile, dude. I believe that historians distorted its true extent (Hart, for example) and that enveloping did indeed take place but, nonetheless, it was employed.
"Rauss' memoirs "Memoirs of the Soldier" by Guderian and more, i dont care about what some historian chooses to make up, Germans themseves admitted it was not Blitzkrieg, everyone on the topic agrees it was no Blitzkrieg.
German tanks did not race to meet deep objectives, they broke through and supported the infantry, thats not to say Germans didnt use new tactics like organic air support or motorised kampfgruppen but it had nothing to do with actuall Blitzkrieg that got used in France.
Sorry, I don't know of that guy and I can't be expected to. You lost a lot of the key battles in the first week, never mind 2 months.
Given that the german army failed to reach
any strategic objectives by 14th September and every assault against Warsaw was ending in a bloodbath for the attackers i'd say 1-2 months (without the russian invasion) was pretty realistic.
Ah, good old Polish deflection techniques. If in doubt, go and have a pop at someone else. Look, Poland fell in 1 month. Britain and the allies won over a few years, true??
Last i checked Brits and French got their arse handed to them with only
one brigade level battle (lost by the way) in a grand total of about a month of conflict, at the same time Poland had fought multiple army level battles and won a grand total of 12 major battles 2 of the division level and 10 regiment or brigade level.
The losses incurred by the Polish army constituted more then 70% of the total german losses fighting Belgium, Holland, France and UK in 1941 so i'll still stick to my point that the polish army performed better than any allied force 1942.
