Competent Poles had Pilsudski-Neirat pact with Germany on mutual military assistance, they denied military alliance with the USSR. Poland’s army lasted only for two weeks against Germany, just like French one. It is sure sign of competence of their leadership.

“Competent Poles had Pilsudski-Neirat pact with Germany on mutual military assistance, they denied military alliance with the USSR. Poland’s army lasted only for two weeks against Germany, just like French one.”

The Polish armed forces were outnumbered many times to one in most everything from manpower to weaponry. It is remarkable that the Polish armed forces managed to delay the German, Russian, and Slovak invaders coming at them from all directions; North, South, East, and West. You also fail and neglect to give the Polish armed forces the respect they earned by planning and executing the withdrawal of their surviving armed forces into neutral Romania for the purpose of renewing the fight with their allies in the remainder of the war.

“It is sure sign of competence of their leadership.”

They accomplished more with considerably less military forces than many of the other nations who were also subsequently defeated by Germany and the Soviet Union, so they did earn a considerable amount of respect for the “competence of their leadership.”
