      Poland played all-in, threatening Germany with a war over Danzig/Gdansk, hoping that the allies would attack Germany from the West. Even Beck and the others never expected to win against Germany, just to hold out in the south until France and GB would do the job. Classic nationalistic wishful thinking.

      The Polish invasion was conventional in most aspects, only Guderian's collumn you see far in the east was completely mechanized . The soliders were simply superior to the Poles in all ways, and the Polish government was mostly . unprepared as Germany had mobilized in secret.. Germany still used horses and there were no great tank battles or signifactly radical CAS. France invasion was a true blitzkrieg .

The Polish operation was not motorized, but it had few flaws at all as perfectly shown by the speed of the territory being taken. Germany was superior to Poland in every way, including in soldier morale and training.
      Moreover, Germany had only been militarized at all for 5 years before this. The last conflict Poland overwhelmingly defeated the over-reaching Soviets nearly 20 years earlier.

      French strategy assumed that they need the advantage 2:1 in number of divisions to start forcing Ostwall fortifications on the French-German border. French army started a mobilization on 2nd september and get 2:1 advantage on 14-15st of september. By that time the campaign in Poland was already lost, so French generals decided to execute only limited offensive. Keep in mind that Germans began preparations for war much earlier than than Allies so they had much more combat-ready divisions than Poland, UK and France together in the day of war outbreak. Also more than a half of Luftwaffe planes stayed in the west to defend Germany. When you consider it, you can see that France and UK couldn't do much to help Poland, mostly due to the incredible speed of Wehrmacht advance in Poland.

      So you mentioned that your grandfather's brother was executed on the 6th of August 1939 which makes no sense as the invasion did not begin till 1 September and it would take nearly two weeks till the German troops would reach Kielce which makes it even less likely.
      Also, you mentioned that is was snowing and he was without boots which sounds completely bizarre for it to snow at the beginning of august and even more so in near a place where according to google is a temperate region for central Europe.

    Ciągle chodzi mi po głowie, czy mielibyśmy szansę na powstrzymanie niemieckiej nawały, gdyby zbudowano na czas i obsadzono wzdłuż naszych granic te minimum 1500 stałych żelbetowych bunkrów oraz jeszcze większą liczbę umocnionych gniazd broni maszynowej, plus pola minowe, okopy, rowy i zapory czołgowe, stanowiska artylerii polowej i dalekosiężnej, większą ilość moździerzy i rusznic ppanc, a także gdybyśmy mieli większą ilość sztuk artylerii ppanc i plot, przy istniejącym wówczas stanie wojsk pancernych i lotnictwa, zakładając też realizację planów mobilizacyjnych obliczonych na 100 dywizji (etatowo po 16 tys. żołnierzy w DP) w 1. rzucie, to czy naprawdę nie moglibyśmy zatrzymać Niemców na dłużej na naszych zachodnich i południowych rubieżach? Czas stagnacji frontu na tej linii moglibyśmy wykorzystać do opanowania Gdańska i Prus Wschodnich. W tym wariancie polska flota zostałaby na Bałtyku ryglując dostęp do Królewca i Gdańska, a dywizjon monitorów rzecznych posuwałby się stopniowo po Wiśle osłaniając atak przynajmniej 1 dywizji wzdłuż tej rzeki. Nie wiem, dlaczego uważano, że Puszczy Zielonej nie należy obsadzić wojskiem, korzystając z osłony przed atakami lotnictwa, i nie wykorzystano tego atutu w Wojnie Wrześniowej. Teraz zaś możnaby wykorzystać ten ogromny kompleks leśny do ukrycia dodatkowych formacji, które byłyby wykorzystane do silnych uderzeń na teren Prus, wzmacniając nacisk na całej linii styczności z wrogiem i uniemożliwiając mu dokonywanie akcji przełamującej na wschód od Armii Modlin. Od strony Łomży i Suwałk ustawiłbym silne zgrupowania kawalerii z zadaniem przełamania raczej słabo bronionej rubieży niemieckiej (przed dotarciem wojsk Guderiana w realu) i wyjścia na dalekie tyły obrony niemieckiej. Z Suwalszczyzny widziałbym daleki wypad okrążający teren Prus wzdłuż granicy z Litwą Kowieńską, co by spowodowało totalny chaos w szeregach Niemców i szybkie opanowanie całego obszaru PW.
    Uważam, że w opisanym przeze mnie wariancie mielibyśmy realną szansę powstrzymać znany, nieszczęśliwy dla nas bieg wypadków, gdybyśmy tylko postępowali zgodnie z własnym interesem i nie dali się wpuścić w zastawioną przez Zachód pułapkę. Być może nie musielibyśmy wcale walczyć z Niemcami, gdyby ci widzieli, że jesteśmy na tyle silni, zwarci i gotowi, nie w propagandzie a w realu, że pokonanie nas zbyt wiele by ich kosztowało, a i wynik starcia byłby dla nich niepewny.
    Na Sowiety wystarczyłoby obsadzenie wschodnich granic milionem żołnierzy przy już w miarę gotowych umocnieniach (bo tam kierowaliśmy swoją uwagę w całym 20-leciu międzywojennym) i Stalin raczej nie zaczynałby z nami awantury, widząc, jak Hitler łamie sobie zęby na naszym zachodnim froncie i traci teren Prus z Gdańskiem.
    Dodatkowym skutkiem takiego rozwoju wydarzeń byłby powszechny wstrząs opinii publicznej na całym świecie spowodowany ukazaniem zbrodniczego charakteru reżimu nazistowskiego po ujawnieniu okropności todtlageru Stuttfoff, do którego - po wyzwoleniu i uwolnieniu zamkniętych tam i mordowanych nieszczęśników - zaraz trafiliby ich oprawcy i organizatorzy tego ludobójczego procederu.
    Pamiętać należy, że mieliśmy zdolność powołania armii o liczebności 3-3,5 mln przeszkolonych i dobrze wyposażonych żołnierzy (pod warunkiem wykonania na czas planów mobilizacyjnych). Przy wykorzystaniu stanu liczbowego 1,6 na Niemcy, 1 na Sowiety, zostaje nam ok. 0,5 do 1 mln w gotowości jako druga linia wsparcia lub do działań zaczepno-ofensywnych. Do tego służby tyłowe, OC itd.
    Południowej granicy nie wymieniłem powyżej, ale tu jest najmniejszy problem, bo mieliśmy tam naturalnie bronione granice, które stosunkowo niewielkim kosztem można byłoby skutecznie obronić, a nawet - jak w przypadku PW - przejść do kontrofensywy i wymusić na Słowakach separatystyczny rozejm. Do zabezpieczenia tej rubieży przewidywałbym ok. 100K wojska, obstawienie wzmocnionymi stanowiskami ogniowymi przełęczy górskich, w tym na kluczowych kierunkach bunkrami z silną obsadą broni ppanc - jak w Węgierskiej Górce, tylko prawie na samej granicy, aby wróg nie miał zbyt łatwo. Do tego w miarę liczne stanowiska dobrze zamaskowanej i wstrzelanej obrony plot wysoko w górach i wokół strategicznych miejsc.
    Słowaccy żołnierze podczas KW39 nie byli zbyt mocno zmotywowani do walki, a widząc zorganizowaną, silną obronę, być może wcale nie próbowaliby wejść na nasz teren. Zostałby tylko ten niemiecki korpus armijny, który nas stamtąd zaatakował, ale tu mielibyśmy szansę najpierw ich wykrwawić i w końcu pokonać. Widziałbym też utworzenie na terenie Polski armii wyzwoleńczych Słowaków i Czechów, które byłyby forpocztą do wyzwolenia ich kraju(ów), przy założeniu, że część wojska czechosłowackiego sprzed anschlusu wraz z uzbrojeniem znalazłaby się u nas. Wtedy byłoby dużo łatwiej uzyskać ww. rozejm, lub nawet pozyskać neutralność lub opowiedzenie się rządu księdza Tiso po naszej stronie.
    Wyrwanie Niemcom PW z Gdańskiem i Słowacji byłoby równoznaczne z wybiciem kłów hitlerowskiej bestii, która nie byłaby w stanie nas okrążyć i pożreć, jak to się stało w historii. Nie traktuję tego, co piszę jako prawdę objawioną, ale warto czasem robić takie ćwiczenia umysłowe, patrząc wstecz na różne krytyczne momenty w dziejach naszej Ojczyzny, aby nieraz dojść do zaskakujących wniosków, które mogą być cenne i dzisiaj. Mam nadzieję, że nasi stratedzy wojskowi też to czynią i nie ulegają raz przyklepanym, często tendencyjnym i fałszywym, analizom i wnioskom.

      Full mobilization would be over after 2 weeks.
      By then poland was already done for.
      The french had planned for poland to last a few months, long enough for the french to prepare a large scale offensive.
      Instead of that, after the preliminary advance in the saar region with the few alreafy available divisions between the 7th and 16th, france understood that poland wouldn't last long enough, and changed their plans.

      The Hel Fortified Area was built during 1918 to right before the war ended up happening and this fortified area would serve as one of the first places to see combat alongside Westerplatte but this area would actually remain to be the second to last area that would surrender to the Germans only surrendering on October 2nd or 4 days before the last of the Polish Army ended up surrendering in the battle for the town of Kock (last blue area) due to lack of ammunition on October 6th.

      First of all, the last Polish troops fighting in the Battle of Kock under General Kleeberg surrendered on 6th October, 1939.
      Secondly, just because the Allies won WW2 doesn't mean Poland too. The Entente won WW1, but I don't think you would say Russia won WW1, as they ended up under a new government with 25% of their land taken away.
      The case with Poland is worse, as they were left occupied by the Soviet Union after the war, they lost their Eastern territories, and the original Polish government still remained in exile until 1990.
      Poland lost WW2.

Затем на Мюнхенском Сговоре без согласия Чехословакии забрали у нее Судетскую Область(а потом и всю Чехословакию), несмотря на то, что Советский Союз был готов помочь Чехословакии в случае вторжения. Потом, когда Третий Рейх напал на Польшу, Союзники "вступились за нее", однако никакой помощи Польше не предоставили, начался этап "Странной Войны". Французы просто свели войска на границу и боялись пошевелиться, спровоцировав немецкую армию. Вот про какую предысторию я говорил

      1. Не аншлюс, а демократический референдум, который прошел также в Крыму и также пройдет Юго-Восточных обл. Украины. Я согласен, союзники никак толком не отреагировали на аншлюс Кры...Австрии)
      2. Не Мюнхенский сговор, а Стамбульский (или где он будет проходить не вижу пока будущего). Ты фиксиков пересмотрел? СССР - помогатор, он тогда много кому помог, Прибалтике, Финляндии, странные поляки чеж они не доверились этим кристально честным большевикам. Так хотели помочь чехословакии, что потом подписали Молотова Риббентропа))) и как я уже сказал помогали горючесмазочными, пока бриты отдувались по всей Европе/Африке.
      3. Польша была разбита за месяц, поставь себя на место Британского руководства, ты бы отправил десант (который по пути могут потопить) что бы что? Ты посмотри сколько времени ушло на операцию дня Д, а тут уже через неделю немцы стояли у столицы Польши. Ну и по поводу помощи союзников Польши у тебя не достаточно информации, т.к даже чихочемного (не знаю как по русски будет правильно) Владислава Кочанского позывной (Бомба) с которым бегал мой дед гася УПА в составе Армии Крайова, готовили и забрасывали в тыл именно Бриты, а уж молчу про снабжение оружием, подготовку деверсий как против Рейха так и против СССР и тп.
      4. Я правильно прочитал? Французы спровоцировали немцев? на оккупацию?) это какая то новая методичка из разряда «биолабораторий и Украина спровоцировала своими планами дойди до Волгограда»?))
      Вывод: буйных ебанатов у которых писька не стоит и смысл жизни потерян, которые играются в 19век с пересмотром истории, границ и «справедливости» нужно гасить в зародыше, а не играть с ними в договоры типа «Мюнхенских/Стамбульских сговоров»
