Why Did Poland Lose Ww2

When the invasion of Poland in 1939 began it wouldn’t be long before France and Britain

declared war and this would officially start world war two. At 4:45 1.5 million German troops marched

into Poland and almost simultaneously the Germans bombed the Airfields and attacked the Polish navy.

the Germans said that it was a defensive act but Britain and France weren’t buying it. For Hitler the

invasion would bring the Germans more living space. His plan was that the Germans would colonize

in Poland and the native slavs would be enslaved. As Hitler had already invaded Austria and

Czechoslovakia in the same year he was hoping that the invasion would be tolerated by other countries.

The Germans signed a nonaggression pact with the USSR so that they wouldn’t come
Poland feared attack and tried calling in troops but France and Britain

persuaded Poland to wait until August 31 the last attempt to dissuade Germany. At 4:45 the Germans

began Invading and Britain gave the Germans two days to withdraw from the war or they would send

help. After the two days had expired Britain announced that they were officially at war with Germany

and shortly after France also declared war. In Poland Germany started to advance at crazy speeds they were using a tactic known as lightning war. In lightning war the Germans smashed into the

poland line and separated Polish forces to capture them. The advanced German air force bombed the

city to even terrorize the country further. Shortly later Poland was evacuated and Germany had taken

poland and despite france and britain having declared war on germany they did little to help out against

the poland invasion and the war really didn’t pick back up until one year later. I find the reliability to this
