Polish Sky Group joke

East? Plow the land with a sword? It was Hitler's strategy of external expansion after he took office.

Poland was not the first stop in Hitler's foreign expansion. The wall was not built at one time, and the blisters on the feet were not all ground at one time. It's all done step by step.

After Hitler came to power, he first tore up the Treaty of Versailles signed during World War I to see the reaction of Britain and France. At this time, Britain and France adopted a policy of appeasement. In this case, Hitler let go of his hands and feet, then seized the Sudetenland and further annexed the whole Czech Republic.

It was not until September 1939 that Germany began to attack Poland. If we look at the map, we will find that Hitler first seized the Sudetenland and then annexed the Czech Republic, all in preparation for attacking Poland. It can be said that attacking Poland has always been Hitler's direction.

A few days ago, I watched a World War II movie "Our Father" from a German perspective. This film tells the psychological problems of German soldiers when the Soviet-German War broke out. In the film, several soldiers had an interesting conversation, saying that their father had never left his birthplace for dozens of kilometers. This is not a case, but a common problem in Germany.

Remember Kant, a famous German philosopher, who never left his hometown of Connersburg in his life? Village? Philosopher.

And these soldiers were almost all in Moscow. They were very excited at the beginning of the war, according to Hitler's proposal? Plow the land with a sword? If the war is won, the Germans will get a lot of land.

Therefore, Hitler's eastward expedition to Poland is not the final destination. From Hitler's point of view, if Hitler can get the understanding of Britain and France, Germany will continue to push eastward after attacking Poland.

To the west of Germany is France, which is known as the strongest army in Europe. It is unrealistic for Germany to go to war directly with France.

But Britain and France could no longer resist Germany's development and provocation, and finally declared war completely. Under such circumstances, Germany did not go to war with the Soviet Union. Instead, it gave France a blitzkrieg and directly forced France to surrender.

Although Poland has millions of soldiers, it is still much worse than France. Accordingly, playing Poland is more reliable. After all, Poland is a vast country, and laying down Poland means controlling more resources in Eastern Europe.

What was Poland's strength before the outbreak of World War II? Is it really a million soldiers?

In view of Poland's military strength, there have been media reports in history that when Germany attacked Poland, Polish cavalry cut tanks with machetes, and Poland's military thinking was really backward, which also led to Germany's successful attack on Poland in just over 30 days.

However, when the cavalry cut the tank, this wine was a bit ridiculous. Being behind doesn't mean being an idiot. What a stupid thing to cut iron sheet with a knife! This news was actually reported by an Italian journalist who didn't understand military affairs. At that time, the reporter took part in the battle with the Germans. At that time, a group of cavalry encountered German infantry, which caused great harm to the Germans. However, when the German armored forces arrived, it dealt a great blow to the cavalry.

The reporter then arrived at the battlefield, so YY reported the news that a Polish cavalry rushed to kill the tank.

Because of Poland? International destiny? It's really not so good. This joke was used to ridicule the incompetence of Poles in World War II, and over time it became a history that many people thought.

Actually, Poland is not a particularly backward country. At that time, it was at least a quasi-first-tier country. As a victorious country in World War I, it was supported by Britain and France. After World War I, Poland has been bullying Germany and the Soviet Union.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Poland was not unprepared, but also carried out a large-scale arms expansion. At that time, there were 30 standing divisions in Poland, 10 reserve division and 12 cavalry brigade. Together with the reserve and militia, the strength is completely over one million.

It is precisely because of this strength that even Britain and France are very optimistic about Poland. In the eyes of Britain and France, Poland can at least become a difficult dilemma for Germany to fall into two fronts.

Churchill once said that if you look at the strength on paper, they (Poland and France) will not lose to Germany.

It can be said not to underestimate Poland, but his opponent Germany is too strong!

Hitler had reached an agreement with Stalin before he divided Poland.

Hitler's? Plow the land with a sword? Thought should be written in Mein Kampf, and the Soviets can't miss it. In other words, after Poland was laid, Hitler turned his gun to fight the Soviet Union, which was also a matter in the development of the plot.

However, under the international relations at that time, the Soviet Union and Germany could only choose cooperation, which was a long story.

After World War I, Britain and France were both powerful, and the Soviet Union and Germany were both targets of repression. So the two sides cooperated. Although the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany disintegrated after Hitler came to power, what was the relationship between Britain and France before the outbreak of World War II? Suffering leads to the East? This strategy made the Soviet Union very dissatisfied.

The Soviet Union hopes that Britain, France and the Soviet Union can form an alliance to contain the rise of Germany as they did in World War I. This idea has a good original intention, but Britain and France only hope that the Soviet Union will contribute money and do not intend to provide much support.

Even during the negotiations, Britain and France connived at Germany's expansion in Eastern Europe. The representatives of Britain and France began negotiations with the Soviet Union in April 1939, but no results were achieved in August.

Finally, Hitler personally contacted Stalin, signed a non-aggression treaty between the Soviet Union and Germany on August 23, and worked out a plan to jointly carve up Poland.

Many people are full of doubts about this agreement. Why did Stalin cooperate with Germany instead of Britain and France? The reason is that Britain and France are too indifferent, just want benefits and don't want to contribute. In contrast, Germany appears to be more sincere, at least giving the Soviet Union some benefits.

Stalin gave a better explanation from the standpoint of the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union signs a treaty with Britain and France, Germany may eventually lead to Britain and France and eventually attack the Soviet Union, but Britain and France will certainly sit idly by. If the Soviet Union signs a treaty, Britain and France will definitely take an active part in the actions to curb Germany's development.

Of course, for Germany, even if Poland has a million soldiers, it can't stand the blow of two big countries.
