How did Germany's invasion of Poland differ from its invasion of the Soviet Union?
Before the outbreak of World War Two, it was clear that Germany's rivals, or said, "enemies" were the powers of Eastern Europe, mainly England and France. This was clearly defined in September of 1939, when Hitler invaded Poland. As per the secret policies in the 1939 Soviet-German Non Aggression Pact, the USSR was now an ally and took over the eastern half of Poland. Once that was complete, Hitler focused on Western Europe and basically conquered France and other small states in western Europe. Here are several differences between the two unholy invasions and the two unholy allies.1. Western Europe feared that a German invasion would take place;
2. They and Poland understood that Hitler had bad intentions towards them;
3. The invasion of the Soviet Union by Hitler was a "surprise attack" against a so-called ally.

Why was Auschwitz buit in Poland?
Auschwitz was not "stationed" in Poland. Auschwitz is a German name for town of Oswiecim. When in 1939 Germans invaded Poland they changed all the Polish names to German names, Polish language was forbidden. Part of the camp was acctually an old army barracks, in 1940 the Germans built the concentration camp around it. In years 1940-42 the inmates were mainly Poles and Russian soldiers. Then in 1942 first Jewish transports came. A total of at least 1.1 million people were killed there, mostly Jews from all over Europe, then Poles, Gypsies, Russians. Auschwitz was located at the crossroads of rail system, easy way to transport people. Germans were practical. And since that most European Jews lived in Poland it was logical to place camp as such there. Instead in, let's say, Denmark where only 6-8 thousands Jews lived. Imagine problems caused by transporting 3 million Polish Jews to Denmark or other country, such as France. There were other camps, like and Majdanek were majority of prisoners were non-Jews.

Why did Poland have so many more civilian deaths than military deaths?
Many Jews lived in Poland so the Nazis thought it would be easy to get rid of Jews there (which is why the concentration camps were set up there). they made Jews wear armbands so they can recognize them right away. Sometimes they were persecuted on the spot, but other times, they were stuffed in ghettos, extermination camps, labor camps, or sometimes tortured before killing them. You see, the holocaust period was a very, very difficult time for not only Jews, but for gypsies and Jehovah witnesses as well (plus other religions)
