Book excerpt: The German attack on Poland precipitated World War II, making the Polish campaign one of particular significance to the student of the 1939-45 conflict. The lessons learned by the German Army in its operations in Poland were put to use in the later campaigns against the western Allies, the Balkan states, and the Soviet Union. Poland also formed the testing ground for new theories on the use of armored forces and close air support of ground troops. The complete destruction of the Polish state and the removal of Poland from the map of eastern Europe were grim portents of the fate of the vanquished in the new concept of total war. The purpose of this campaign study is to provide the United States Army with a factual account of German military operations against Poland, based on source material from captured records currently in the custody of The Adjutant General, Department of the Army; monographs prepared by a number of former German officers for the Historical Division, United States Army, Europe; and such Polish accounts as were available. -- Abstract.

Download or read book Poland 1939 written by Roger Moorhouse and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "chilling" and "expertly" written history of the 1939 September Campaign and the onset of World War II (Times of London). For Americans, World War II began in December of 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor; but for Poland, the war began on September 1, 1939, when Hitler's soldiers invaded, followed later that month by Stalin's Red Army. The conflict that followed saw the debut of many of the features that would come to define the later war-blitzkrieg, the targeting of civilians, ethnic cleansing, and indiscriminate aerial bombing-yet it is routinely overlooked by historians. In Poland 1939, Roger Moorhouse reexamines the least understood campaign of World War II, using original archival sources to provide a harrowing and very human account of the events that set the bloody tone for the conflict to come.

Download or read book The Campaign in Poland 1939 written by U. S. Army Military Academy and published by Dale Street Book Company. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extremely rare analysis of the 1939 German invasion of Poland was printed only in limited quantities by the War Department in 1941. Military tacticians were still frantically trying to decipher the new warfighting doctrine fueling the Wehrmacht juggernaut, which the press aptly dubbed "blitzkrieg," or "lightening war." The Campaign in Poland 1939 is a must read for every serious scholar of World War II. It was originally classified since much of its text was based on military intelligence at the time. It remains "must" reading for soldiers and scholars alike, detailing for the reader the comparative fighting strengths of the German and Polish military forces, German plans, Polish plans, and a chronological order of the operations from break-through on September 1-5 to exploitation on September 6-8 to encirclement on 9-14 September and annihilation on 15-28 September. Six original maps are included depicting: terrain, communications and permanent fortifications (map 1); dispositions of opposing forces on August 31 and German Plan (map 2); situation at dark on September 5 (map 3); situation at dark on September 8 (map 4); situation at dark on September 14 (map 5); and situation at dark on September 20 (map 6). There are also concluding comments and insights with excerpts taken verbatim from material prepared by the Military Intelligence Service of the War Department in those chaotic first days of the war. This is a rare book and a valuable reference for every student and scholar of military history.

Download or read book German Soldier vs Polish Soldier written by David R. Higgins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazi invasion of Poland in September 1939 saw mostly untested German troops face equally inexperienced Polish forces. With the Polish senior leadership endeavouring to hold the country's industrialized east, Hitler's forces unleashed what was essentially a large pincer operation intended to encircle and eliminate much of Poland's military strength. Harnessing this initial operational advantage, the Germans were able to attack Polish logistics, communications and command centres, thereby gaining and maintaining battlefield momentum. With the average infantry soldier on both sides comparatively well-led, equipped and transported, vital differences in battlefield support (especially air power and artillery), tactics, organization and technology would make all the difference in combat. Featuring specially commissioned artwork, archive photography and battle maps, this study focuses upon three actions that reveal the evolving nature of the 1939 campaign. The battle of Tuchola Forest (1–5 September) pitted fast-moving German forces against uncoordinated Polish resistance, while the battle of Wizna (7–10 September) saw outnumbered Polish forces impede the German push north-east of Warsaw. Finally, the battle of Bzura (9–19 September) demonstrated the Polish forces' ability to surprise the Germans operationally during a spirited counter-attack against the invaders. All three battles featured in this book cast light on the motivation, training, tactics and combat performance of the fighting men of both sides in the 1939 struggle for Poland.
