Invasão Da Polonia: 1939 Poland Campaign

The Polish campaign was one of the fastest and most impressive of all time. From 01/09/39, German troops penetrated Poland rapidly, sweeping the obsolete Polish army in less than a month (the Germans called it the "18-Day Campaign"). Employing a numerically larger, better equipped and mainly indoctrinated army for the Blitzkrieg, the Germans had overwhelming superiority over the Poles. These, in turn, with an inferior army in all respects except bravery, could do little to defend the extensive Polish borders. In addition, the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) destroyed the small Polish air force in the early days of the campaign. However, with the Anglo-French declaration of war on Germany, the Polish campaign became World War II. Despite so many disadvantages, the Polish player can win the match, seeking to slow down German advances, avoiding the sieges that the "panzers" will try to make and still protect themselves in the fortified areas. The Germans, on the other hand, are fighting back in time, because if they do not subdue Poland quickly, the allies will invade Germany from the West, whose border is weakly defended. Therefore, victory should smile at what best harnesses its strength.
