Hello, I'm hoping that someone could give me some good sites referring to the Polish Army in 1939.

Thanks

Well the Russians Plundered East Germany so much that it's economy under the Communists never was able to match that of it's Western Neighbour, Even with the rich Industrial region of Silesia.

In my Opinion, even though I am a Canadian and it stinks to say this but, I believe that the Canadian Army in France lacked a lot of Initiative at Falaise. The Canadians were criticized on their slow movement on attempting to pin the fleeing Germans and were unable to completely close the Gap. If th...

Hey Sid, I was refering to Poland and the fact that German land was taken, with German people living on that land. These German people were mistreated by the Poles and even the most left wing Euorpean socialist cannot honestly deny this fact. Well, remember that Prussia which later became Germany a...

Dear Sid, There was a perceived difference in the rest of Canada as to the commitment of French Canada. A great deal of this difference was due to the date at which French Canadians married. That is to say that the cultural habit of Franco-Canadians to marry at very young ages. Fourteen year old br...

Heh, I wasn't checking on my posts. Well I believe that the Idea of filling French-Canadian regiments with French Replacements was actaully a French Idea, which was rejected by the Canadians. I guess Canadian Command was simply to stingy to accept french into canadian regiments. And I really don't k...

Hello sid, The german military itself at the time of the russia invasion was itself almost like a "2 era" army. Since the Panzer and Motorized Infantry Divisions were highly mobile, and the rest of the infantry divisions as well as the Romanian, Finnish and Hungarian were marching into rus...

I would have to say the Governments of Great Britain, France and Poland for betraying their own countrymen. They should have attacked Germany in 1935 when the Wehrmacht was announced and the Verseille treaty denounced.

Italy seems to have had quite a large military before the war. If they had better tanks and the supply lines to support the army through out the Mediterranean. Italy could have captured Greece and Egypt in 1940 without much difficulty, then transfered a large army to support Hitler's invasion of Rus...

Sadly Jez history is full of killing , All we can do is try not to repeat it.

Wow i really didn't know anything about the Russian Civil War before this thread, thanks for enlightening me on the subject.

What if the Whites had beaten back the Reds during the Russian Civil War and reinstated a Tsar as ruler of Russia?

The Africa Corps wasn't that big anyways (if you count just the germans). But with the Italians, Mussolini might of held power longer with the Italian army capable possibly to fight in Italy, and historically armies have fought with more ferocity when fighting on their homeland. Perhaps the Invasion...

Remember that the Russians and British Occupied countries in the Middle east (Iraq,Iran) I've seen photos of Poles in the russian army posing in Tehran.

You've got to blame the generals for carrying out many of his orders - especially in the latter years of the war. Jodl, Keitel, Rundstedt, Manteuffel and Dietrich all have a lot of blood on the hands for the Ardennes offensive - a doomed operation from the outset, both tactically and strategically....

The Russians used Cavalry in their regular army because of the conditions of the Russian Spring. Cavalry was able to get through the mud when tanks and vehicles floundered.
