I can only agree with you that much could have been done better and that Wehrmacht would have to pay a much higher price for its blitzkrieg.

A few changes at Polish Supreme HQ and deployment of polish army could make Wehrmacht bleeding much more[/QUOTE]
The main problem - that of the traditional prewar policy of balancing the two big neighbors- wasn´t effective once the two found together for a while. [/QUOTE]Yes,and Isuppose that the only chance to change polish foreign politic was lost during Munich.[/B]

I´m only happy that we, as Poles, don´t need to be ashamed of our defeat. We did better than Hitler and his HQ expected, yet - worse than our grandfathers´expectations.
In the end, it required half a civilized world to put the beast to death. Our people did all they possibly could have, both in September and later on.
Still, it´s healthy to review the past and learn from the mistakes, which, albeit maybe unavoidable, happened. Not to put blame on this or that, but just to be wiser in the future. [/B]

Yes,During the war at western europe at 1940 german's loses of personel and equipment were higher than at Poland at 1939.By the way Wehrmacht was stronger than polish army,but weaker than England,French,Belgium,Holland and Norway,and nobody in the past and nowadays is talking about "ancient" french tanks,about charges with sabers against tanks,strange.
From the fact that 800 polish tanks weren't been able to stop 2400 german ones whole world know that polish army was unproffecional and armed with ancient equipment,but at the fact that 3500 british and french tanks weren't been able to stop 2800 german ones nobody see anything wrong at british-french strategy and equipment.Something strange for me,really strange!
