I wonder how you would make out fighting a modern equipped army with
antiquated weapons and half starved as was the case in 1944. A horse back
cavalry is no match for a tank! The Poles, more than held their own during
the Battle of Britain and later with ground forces in Europe along with the
other Allied armies. Records should be set strait in this regard.

The Poles were extraordinarily brave soldiers, when everyone
else had failed to take Monte Cassino it was the poles who
finally did the job at a terrible price, they left 1100 dead
and 3000 wounded on the mountainside.

As one of the Canadian soldiers who witnessed the attack
said, "for us it was just another attack, to the Poles it was
personal"

Polish Cavalry was the modern part of our army. Attack with sabres on tanks
is a myth!!!
They have modern antitank guns 37mm bofors (this gun could destroy all
german tanks in this time, and probably all tanks on the world), antitank
rifle Ur.They fought on "foots", horses was only to move to longest
distance.
We lost, becouse, our strategy was "out of date" (german blitzkrieg was to
fast) (France had bigger army, and they lost faster)
In 1944 in Warsaw we had only light weapon (hand guns, rifle, MP). German
army had tanks, planes, guns (even Karl, 600mm mortar) and they fought over
2 months!
They couldn't stop this wave of steel.
If Polish soldiers had better weapon, they was almost invincible (BoB,
Falais, Monte Casino, Market-garden, Tobruk)
look how they fought in 1939 on Hel or Westerplatte

True enough. I used to have a page bookmarked (3 jobs ago, sadly) that
detailed the incident that led to the myth of "horse cavalry vs. tanks".

The summary, as I recall it, is that a cavalry regiment was busily
wiping out a German infantry unit (footsoldiers vs. cavalry) when a
couple of armored cars (not! tanks!) showed up and chewed up the horse
soldiers with their mounted 20mm cannon. When reporters arrived, the
dead Germans had been removed, and the head of the press escort said
something about "horses vs. panzers *shrug*" and thus was the myth
begun.

We lost, becouse, our strategy was "out of date" (german blitzkrieg was to
fast) (France had bigger army, and they lost faster)

People also forget the backstab by the Soviet Union. The Poles were
holding their own against the Blitzkrieg, despite losing ground (but did
they ever make the Germans pay for that ground), until the Red Army came
across the eastern border.

In 1944 in Warsaw we had only light weapon (hand guns, rifle, MP). German
army had tanks, planes, guns (even Karl, 600mm mortar) and they fought over
2 months!

Yep. Anyone who says the Warsaw uprising shows the Poles couldn't fight
is talking out of their ass.

Had the Poles had a fully mechanized army in 1939 (that is, equivalent
to the Wehrmacht) I suspect they still would have lost, but the Germans
and Soviets would have paid a far heavier price.

ObTex: But what does this have to do with military aviation?

Shouldn't we make that a double? As I recall, in '44 (or was it '45)
the Russians halted their advance just outside Warsaw to give the
Germans time to wipe out the Poles. They knew these were the very
Poles that would cause trouble later on when they occupied Poland
themselves, and would just as soon see them all dead.

True dat, but I was confining my remarks to the initial invasion in
1939.

Polish pilots fought with the Armée de l'Air in 1940 (some became aces)
then, with the RAF.
So did Czech pilots.
....
Did someone said they stood a chance against the germans in 1939 ?
They did what they had to which is not that bad.
What about Belgium, Netherlands ?

For a detailed review of Poland during WW-II go to:
http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/9764/warpoland.html I suggest doing some
research before posting nonsense and racial views to this newsgroup! Also
search for Polish Squadrons during WWII or the Battle of Britain, etc. The
Poles fought with valour during WW-II.

IIRC there were 2 Belgian RAF squadrons, several ground-units & a lot
of merchant ships in service of the British.
