Was Poland destroyed in World War 2?
Yes! Poland was invaded by 2, at the time, strongest armies. And they fought for 1 month, which is very impressive. France was beaten in less than a month, by Germany alone. Besides, France had UK, and the Low countries to fight together with them, while Poland was all alone, against USSR and Germany.
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 So there courage was never in question, they suffered as would Belgium and France from outdated modes of thinking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 the Germans hate the Polish in World War 2?
Answer 1
Germans didn't 'hate' Poles. They had an international territorial dispute over Danzig which was resolved by war. Generalisations about 65 million German people based on the opinions, actions and propaganda of a few score thousand political activists and powerbrokers are not valid. We should not tar the majority of people with the brush of a minority.
Answer 2
German (Nazi) hatred for Poles was not distinct from their hatred of Slavs in general. The Slavs were considered a "non-Aryan" people. Unlike Jews and Romani, they were not subhuman, but they were "less human" than Germans. Additionally, many Poles were either nationalistic and/or helped the Jews avoid the ghettos and concentration camp. In both ways, they opposed the Nazi agenda in Poland are were thus hated.

Why was Poland the most important issue at the yalta conference?
The Yalta Conference was a meeting of the leaders of the US, UK, and the Soviet Union, to discuss Europe's postwar reorganization, and reestablish the nations of war-torn Europe.
Poland, was a central focus of the meeting for several reasons.
1.) Poland, especially Eastern Poland, had been the physical site of the dividing line between Germany and the Soviet Union, after WWI. Skirmishes and boarder battles between Germany, and the Soviet Union continued up through early 1939.
2.)Poland had been politically, and physically, the "key" area of division when the Soviet Union had entered negotiations with the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and Romania, to form an alliance against Nazi Germany.
While such negotiations were being made, Poland was not given an active voice or the same power to participate, as the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet. At the same time, Germany had made promises to Poland, for an alliance, which were later abandoned.
3.) As a result, German troops entered Poland in September of 1939, from the North, West, and South, declaring war on the Soviet Union, France, and England. Soviet troops entered Poland, from the east, 16 days after German troops. Polish military, and domestic resources had been nearly obliterated by German troops, and Poland, while refusing to surrender, was "caught" between the German and Soviet troops.
Basically, due to its location, was used as a physical catalyst between Germany and the Soviet Union, yet, was almost "helplessly" in the middle of the two.
3.) By the time the Yalta conference took place, Soviet troops remained in Poland, and occupied Western Poland, as well. It was key strategically, that Soviet troops, remain in at least the east part of Poland, as a defensive measure against possible future attacks from Germany.
4.) Whether Soviet troops could remain in Poland, and if so, where in Poland, were key to the Soviet Union, when negotiations took place at Yalta.
5.) (Stalin) The Soviet Union did feel an incredible amount of remorse for the occupation in Poland, as Poland not only served as the grounds of invasion by Germany, and the Soviet Union but also, Poland had served as a historical corridor for forces attempting to invade Russia.
