WOW what a logistical nightmare! Enough info to do a year long show! Thanks TINO
And one would think the pragmatic Germans were better but ....oh well another episode coming up on that one :-)
You missed the polish made armored trains!
Also they built some defensive lines with bunkers.
For example they upgraded the Narew line from world war I.
That is a good point, do you know if there are any remains left, as I am going there soon.
@@tinostruckmann Yes, I think so!
Where exactly....hm...
I am not an expert!
Maybe you will find a historian in Poland, who knows some places...
Here are some links:

Also very interesting:
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/OKH_Mauerwald
I have also looked into the "Gefechtsberichte des OKH vom Polenfeldzug".
In addition, the polish army had used some old forts in front of Warschau, Fortress Modlin and Brest.
Gnome Rhone was a French company, not German., producing rotary and later radial aero engines. It was France's major supplier of aviation engines in Word War One. Cheers.
thanks for the heads up dont know how I got that wrong:-)
Gnome-Rhône are French engines. Poland had a lot of French equipment or French in origin.
Hotchkiss 13.2mm MG's (wz.30). The Hotchkiss Mle 1914 MG alto the Poles rechambered it to 7.92×57mm Mauser.
Hotchkiss 37mm AT guns (quite crap). The tanks you already mentioned.
The Poles had a lot of talented designers & ideas like the Gundlach Peryskop obrotowy.
The Brits & Americans got it from Poland so did the Germans (captured) every modern tank since then uses Periscopes.
If you look at the tanks before, they had vision slits...The Gundlach Periscope removes weak spots, protects the user, is rotatable & tilts. Look at the M3 Lee, or all German tanks in 1939 they had all vision slits, even the Tiger had driver slit very recognizable. Almost all later German tank designs had Periscopes based on the Gundlach Peryskop obrotowy.
Also the French & British actively delayed the Polish mobilization cuz of their stupid appeasement policy & as we all know that worked really well... Rendering the Polish defense even less effective.
I agree, the Polish had some great things going for them, and were let down by pretty much everybody.
you failed to mention that the Polish BAR was actually a Polish built version chambered in 8mm Mauser and included several improvements that Browning would eventually incorporate into their design. Even the Browning Model 1917 was actually Polish built and chambered in 8mm Mauser.
6:19 the photo of TKS tankette arm with 20mm canon belong to tank ace Edmund Roman Orlik
The Poles were the first to make a dedicated anti-tank rifle after WW1. Thats what they attacked tanks with.
After WW1 yes, but the design started before WW1 with large game rifles. Used on the Western front then they evolved from there.
Stay safe 😚 . Make some more war movies. You are amazing.
Thank you
Gnosme & Rhone engines were french made HQ aircraft engines also used by the Germans in some transport ME planes after they took over the french factory
Thank you for filling in:-)
im 3 years late, but the picture is a pz38T with a floatation device
Thanks again Tino another informative video . If it wasn't for the Polish Winged Hussars saving the day at the battle of Vienna all of Europe would have been part of the Ottoman empire ..... I guess the moral of the story for Poland would have been *(don't trust your neighbors)* Somehow it seems that feeding and all of the other money of using horses would cost more than investing in some armor and mechanized vehicles . How much did oats cost back then ? ha ha I am just being a dick :-)
Oh those poles and they're flying horses :-)
@@tinostruckmann lol
That mystery contraption seems to be a Pz38T with flotation equipment (somewhat similar to the Japanese Ka-Mi)
Which time mark:-)
@@tinostruckmann Sorry, "the picture of the week" @55:10
Notice the tires on the Bofors 37mm antitank gun. In the mud you can read "HO HO HO"
lol
The Bofors ¤0/36 (40mm L6) seems to still be in the AC130 Gunskip...but im not 100% sure, maybe L7 now...
The L7 is still in use in CV90 (combat viecle 90), in the 9040 series as main gun in the CV and even in CVLV90.
Combat viecle anti aircraft. Three magasines with a lot of ammo options.
I seem to remember they finally changed the gun on the Gunship, let me call my buddy at the Air-force and ask
@@tinostruckmann If You look at the Swedish combat viecle 90, CV90 or stridsfordon 90, A family of viecle. Bofors had filmed different ammo, and what they do in the target. The new ammo is called 3P. 40mm Bofors L70 and 3P, Dart, HE, AT ond so on, the AC130 would be a grown up enemy in the sky. So please tell me if it is L60 or L70 in the AC130, and also what ammo in the 105mm and Gatning. You are bloody great!
Yes, Calle Bazz again...
Poland at that time existed only 20 years...
This bloke does struggle with the spoken word & his knowledge (Mauser 1998?)
german airforce the best at the time? what scource? they were completly untested. the red army had the largest airforce and had experience. they sucked but you cant say a airforce that never fought was the best
and the spanish civil war doesnt count, flying transport dont cut it
I am going to have to disagree with you there, the German Luftwaffe was by far the best at the time, and Yes important lessons were learned in Spain, and Poland and France and Norway and Greece and Crete - The Russians had more of everything but a lot of it was obsolete and their pilots or tankers were not as well trained. Although they had led the way in Airborne development in the 1930 Ill give them that. But at the time the Germans had far more combat experience then their Russian counterparts.
@@tinostruckmann by which standards. how could you say that when there wasnt airwar yet.. .
@@Matt-xj2bx you may want to read up on the very significant to air battles over France Belgium Holland and the canal taking place after the invasion of France and subsequently all the way up until the invasion of Russia
@@tinostruckmann yes but you said on the outbreak of the invasion of poland
