		The Army was intended to be the sole bearer of arms of the nation, and the SA was greatly reduced in importance beginning in June 1934 with a purge of its leadership.
		Army commanders and rank and file alike were not fooled by the official pretexts for the murders - usually attributed to "counter espionage work" - and after the conclusion of the campaign, Army generals were so keen on distancing themselves from the killings that they pulled out of their occupation duties before being formally relieved.
		German officers ate the same food as their men (albeit off a metal plate) and shared their dangers, while recruits in training were treated more humanely than in the Old Army (with some old soldiers venturing the opinion that the Army had "lost it.").

	Invasion of Poland (1939) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		On September 17, 1939, the Soviet Red Army invaded the eastern regions of Poland in cooperation with Germany.
		Poland was a country well suited for mobile operations when the weather cooperated - a country of flat plains with long frontiers totalling almost 3,500 miles, Poland had long borders with Germany on the west and north (facing East Prussia) of 1,250 miles.
		German personnel losses were less than their enemies (~16,000 KIA), but the loss of approximately 30% of armored vehicles during the campaign was one of the reasons the plans for an immediate attack west were discarded.

	Poland's Century: War, Communism and Anti-Semitism

		Poland was undisputedly the victim of Britain and the US dependence on the Soviet military commitment to the defeat of Hitler.
