War in Poland 1939 - false myths?

[Jacek]

The technique of fighting tanks is essential. You have to know its weak spots: optics, thickness of armor in different places etc.

No, Bartek, I was not comparing the Finnish war with anything else. I was just trying to show that RKKA was actively practising in the expectation of bigger tasks.

Stellan - please, do not underestimate the Mannerheim Line. It was built for small money but it was a masterpiece of low budget fortifications that used the natural conditions and obstacles, maybe, optimally. I know, Gentlemen do not discuss facts. But try to advance a division through a narrow forrest road. where you can´t even turn your hardware around, with minefields on both sides, and find out that the bridge behind you as well as before you have just been dynamited. From both sides you have snipers, well hidden behind the minefields , who pluck your officers (incl. yourself), and all of that in -30 centigrades. Cheap, yes, but deadly too!

I am also, like Bartek, annoyed by the, I don´t even know how to call it. - condescension towards the Polish Army vs. the French or BEF. It is, as I see it, just an example of Pavlovian reaction vs. all things concerning Eastern Europe. This also includes the term "Polish concentration camps".
Not to mention the persistent enmity of parts of Jewish opinionmakers towards Poland.

And now, I´d like to explode the biggest bomb in this entry: Who agrees with AJP Taylor´s opinions on the origins of WW2? I mention it because it is by all means relevant to this thread - maybe the greatest myth?
