Mincer, you aren’t very clever are you. You mock Poland for falling to Germany and ignore your countries involvement in it. Both Britain and France followed a policy of appeasement even though they both knew that Poland would be at risk from such a policy.
In March 1939 Britain officially pledged to protect Poland from German aggression, and then didn’t bother- maybe if Britain [and France] had kept their word Poland wouldn’t have fallen so easily to Germany- but we’ll never know as Britain **** out and didn’t keep its word.
Be proud of your heritage British Mincer
[Germany survived 1939] "only because approximately 110 French and English divisions in the West, which during the campaign on Poland were facing 25 German divisions, remained completely inactive."
General Alfred Jodl
Poland held out for 5 weeks, three weeks longer than was planed under the agreements reached between Britain, France, and Poland. Poland never surrendered to the might of Germany or the Soviets, it was overrun while its supposed allies stood and watched.
