Poland defeated Germany in world war one, and they were really mad.
The Allied Forces defeated Germany and freed Poland from the Nazi occupation. Russia came in from the East to defeat Germany.
first answer: nazis second more correct answer: Nazi Germany began the invasion of Poland on 1 Sept. 1939, however the Soviet Union joined Germany in the invasion on 17 Sept. 1939. A conquered Poland was divided between the two invaders. Then at the end of the war, when Germany was defeated, Poland (an ally) was not freed by the Soviets, instead it was occupied & turned into a puppet of the Soviets.
Poland was the first Allied country invaded & defeated by Germany in WW2.
Because they were not equipped to wage modern war. mounted cavalry against tanks is hardly a match.
It is unlikely that Hitler would have bothered with Poland and risk a potential eastern enemy on his eastern front. It would have been much safer to keep Poland as a buffer between Germany and the USSR. Even with troops stationed in Poland, Germany easily defeated France in the West. As quickly as France had fallen, it would have fallen faster if Germany had to be careful on the eastern front.
