What was the problem with using Germanic soldiers to fight the Persian army?

The only problem with using Germanic soldiers in the Roman army would be the language barrier, which was soon overcome. The German soldiers were loyal and because of their generally larger size, were often used as private bodyguards for emperors and members of the imperial families. If you are thinking of the Teutoburg disaster, that was an exception, and even in that case, several German leaders remained loyal to Rome and even tried to warn the Romans of the trouble.

Was Poland fighting against Germany?

Poland's plans of defense were much like those for most of Europe, they had their forward units posted to the boarders with Germany. These units were to delay the Germans long enough for mobilization of the second and third echelon units to finish and allow for Poland to push back against Germany. This was tied in with the anticipation of aid from both France and Great Britain. The Allied generals all expected a repeat of WWI, in that the war would consist of leg infantry moving at that pace. The German form of warfare, commonly called Blitzkrieg disrupted the forward Polish defenses. In addition, the Luftwaffe destroyed the Polish air force on the ground, so there was no way for it to interdict the Luftwaffe as they began disrupting the Polish mobilization efforts. Individually, the Polish fought well, and if I remember correctly they even once had a cavalry charge against the Panzers. So there courage was never in question, they suffered as would Belgium and France from outdated modes of thinking

AnswerI agree with Jerry but one additional point. Poland was also worried about Russia, coming from the opposite direction, and could never concentrate their forces on one front. Russia and Germany had a history of cooperation together at this time, until Hitler attacked Russia. The Polish soldiers who fled to Russia from the Wermacht, when Poland was finaly overran, where immediately interned in POW Camps and the Russians committed numerous atrocities on the Polish Officer Corps(Killing numerous Officers). Interesting, when Hitler invaded, the Russians couldn't get the Poles out of the concentration camps and arm them fast enough. Even forming a all Polish Unit with surviving Officers. AnswerPoland left almost no troops facing Russia. The Russian-German agreement to partition Poland was not known, and all but a few forces were facing the Germans.

However Polish mobilisation was still happening whenGermany invaded....units weer still in barracks or moving from them to positions, some units were caught still on trains, some soldiers were not with their units. Also the Polish army was deployed forward and the Germans were among them very quickly.

Why did Anne Frank go into hidding?

Anne Frank had a terribly hard time living in the Secret Annexe. She had to eat spoiled and poor meals nearly for all of time she spent in the Secret Annexe. She had to face the situations that came up everyday within the annexe. She faced the contradictions of Mrs. Vann Daan that did not like her. Mrs. Vann Daan said that Anne was spoiled and not raised properly. She also is a witness to seeing Mrs. Vaan Daan flirt with her father which upsets Anne in a large way. In hiding she felt lonely, sad, guilty, worried for her friend in the concentration camps and for her own life being discoverd. She felt what it was like to have a boyfriend-Peter vann Daan. She had times to laugh and cry time to think and worry. She had times of happiness and much sadness. She even felt like she betrayed her own race (Jews) for sleeping in a warm bed and being safe while her freinds were in the cold of the night in camps dying. Her emotions were a true rollercoaster as I would expect of a 13 year old girl in hiding under Nazi rules.
