Poles were fully ready - for the previous war.

Still, the 39 Polish divisions (many not up to full strength) held out for 36 days against the German’s 60 and later Soviet attacks. France, on the other hand, slightly outnumbered the Germans with 144 divisions to the German 141, as well as having Belgium, UK, and Netherlands on their side. They only managed to hold out 10 days longer. (They prepared well for the last war also.)

I’ll go with “not.” They only declared mobilization less than a week ago.
