The Germans incurred approximately 30,000 casualties in its invasion of Poland beginning September 1, 1939. As an aside, these casualties would have been higher if the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact did not call for the USSR to "occupy" the eastern half of Poland.

Germany's invasion of Poland is often thought of as a sweeping military victory. While the Germans did win, it was not perfect. While the Germans had far less casualties than the Polish, they still lost many men. Around 16,000 Germans died, while another 30,000 were wounded. Compared to the modern conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is astounding, as those two have only seen the deaths of around 6,800 American Servicemen.

The May 1940 invasion of France by Germany resulted in 290,000 French casualties and 138,000 German casualties. The German campaign lasted a little over one month. What is surprising about these figures was that normally the defensive army has fewer casualties then the offensive force.Yet, France suffered more wounded and killed soldiers then Germany by a wide margin.
