Today, I expect that the Lodz Group of Polish divisions no longer exists as a cohesive fighting force, having been crushed by German 8th and 10th Armies. 10th Army panzer and motorized units are probably running free in the Polish rear areas while the infantry mops up.

The Modlin Group, badly battered by Kuechler’s 3rd Army operating out of East Prussia, is ready to make it’s stand on the Narew but by tomorrow will also be destroyed as an effective fighting formation.

The divisions of Poznana Group and surviving parts of Pomorze Group are already looking to concentrate in the area between the Vistuala and Bzura Rivers.

On both sides, there must already be a sense that the Germans have the upper hand, and the campaign’s outcome is not in doubt.

Thanks for the blow-by-blow. The map at the top is OK but it is static for 14 days.

I got to imagine it already feels hopeless for those units in the field. And they haven’t seen the worse of it yet. The Luftwaffe will start hitting Polish units on the 5th. Up to now they have been busy making around 400,000 reserves stranded by taking out their rail access not to mention finishing off the Polish Airforce (pretty much all on the ground).
