@will2brown50 2 года назад

An allied invasion of Germany in 1939-40 just wasn't feasible it would have been a desperate move. The allies had zero offensive advantage over Germany. Germany had 4 fighting age men for every 1 french. In such demographic circumstances defensive strategems are preferable. If you want to truly blame someone blame Belgium for pulling out of the alliance with Britain and France, or blame Britain and France for allowing Germany to remilitarise the Rhine land which led to the aforementioned Belgian neutrality.

How serious was the non-actions of France and Great Britain? According to the German General Jodl at the Nuremberg War Trials he said: “ *if we did not collapse already in the year 1939 that was due only to the fact that during the Polish campaign, the approximately 110 French and British divisions in the West were held completely inactive against the 23 German divisions* ”

@annoyingbstard9407 2 года назад

Two points: firstly Poland was not seen in very good light in the West having joined forces with Hitler and helped the Nazis invade Czechoslovak just a few months earlier. Many thought we should not be helping them when their former “friends” turned on them, and secondly the British Expeditionary Force never got into position on the Belgian border until the end of October - by which time Poland was defeated.

Not only let down during the Invasion of Poland but many Poles helped defend Britain during the battle of Britain and were probably the best allied pilots in that theatre. At the end of the war, Britain voted to send them back where many were executed by the Red Army. So much for British honour. Vale to the brave Poles!

Also Germany were critically open on the west front and they just counted on Allies being a total dicks to Poland and eventually it appeared that Germnas were good at maths ;)

@paulzuk1468 5 лет назад

The problem was, like is common in alliances, a lack of clear understanding of mutual capabilities. Poland's mobilization system was rather obsolete in 1939 ; We were unable to conduct a large part of the mobilization process in secret. However, France and Great Britain could accomplish that, and assumed that Poland could as well. "Delaying mobilization" for France and GB was not that big a deal, as they simply delayed the final step of the process a bit, which was not logistically intensive nor particularly complex and combat units would've achieved most of their readiness already. For Poland, however, delaying mobilization was a crippling blow ; The western allies did not understand this fact, and thus thought pressuring Poland to delay mobilization was worth the risk, seeing as the potential payoff was preserving peace on the continent. And of course after 1938 and the partitioning of Czechoslovakia, Poland was actually quite unpopular in the West and had very little political capital in Paris and London, so people weren't particularly inclined to listen.

My Great grandad was Polish, he fought in the struggle against Germany and Russia and was captured and given a decision to either join the German army or to be sent to Siberia to do hard labour. He chose to join the German army and was then captured again in 1944 near Normandy by British troops. Those British troops then realised he was Polish, so he was sent into the Polish Police Force in Scotland.

@katscagurangan585 5 лет назад

An unexpected turn of events, i figured the germans would’ve killed him, and if not, the british would’ve killed him (thought, the latter was really unlikely, since they noticed his nationality, but still, it was possible that he could’ve died in the crossfire) but hey, your great grandad must’ve been really lucky considering he captured by the germans and british instead of getting killed, i know i am really negative pls don’t kill me

Fun fact. Carol II of Romania asked the Polish government if they wanted the Romanians to enter the war on their side, but the Polish government refused saying that the Polish army and government needed a safe retreat passage and, if Romania entered the war, the Luftwaffe would've bombarded the Romanian infrastructure and it would've been impossible for the Polish army and government to retreat. The Polish government and army fled in Western Europe via Romania, and many Polish refugees established themselves in Romania. This angered Hitler badly. Maybe that's why he decided to force Romania to give Northern Transylvania to Hungary. Also, the Polish treasury was kept safely in Romania, at the Tismana Monastery until the end of the war.

The Soviet Union DID play the most important role in defeating Germany, which is obvious if you look at the numbers of casualties on all fronts. It would have probably lost without the help of the Allies, but without the SU, the Allies would have definitly lost. Plus the West probably was very happy that Stalin and Hitler DID bleed each other out so much... just not enough to get rid of the SU afterwards. Don´t forget that the Entende already interveened in the russian civil war and tried to destroy communism before it could really start, interfering in internal, russian affairs for selfish reasons!

Not really a lie. Before the idea of a unified german nation, there were many settlers from North Germany to what is known as the Baltic area. Germans settled there for a few centuries, and the polish seeing the threat of a germanic state right above their borders sent the Crusaders (later naming themselves as the teutonic order) to slay these germans. Well... it all happened around 800 years ago so I don't think that counts.

@@Simplehistory ,,kawiarnia" comes from word ,,kawa" meaning coffee. It was first opened in XVIIth Century, after taking coffee from Ottomans (after winning the Battle of Vienna in 1683). It was originally a place where you could buy coffee, but it later evolved into selling desert things, like e.c. some cakes, cookies, tea, sometimes ice cream, etc.

Naprawdę dziękujesz komuś za to, że mówi o tym jak to jakiś naród zły? Francja i Brytania to były pierdoły, ale nie przesadzaj

@@CheddarMannn W ostatnich latach powszechne jest zjawisko polityki historycznej która ma na celu wybielenie niektórych krajów takich jak np niemcy. Moim zdaniem powinno się mówić prawdę a mało kto to robi. To tak jak z tresowaniem psa. Dasz mu przekąskę za to, że zrobił coś dobrego - tak ja staram się to robić komentarzami.
