	Polish September Campaign Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Polish forces abandoned regions of Pomerania, Greater Poland and Silesia in the first week of the campaign, after a series of battles known as the battle of the border.
		Polish cavalry (equipped with modern small arms and light artillery like the highly effective Bofors 37mm antitank gun) never charged German tanks or entrenched infantry or artillery directly but usually acted as mobile infantry and reconnaissance units and executed cavalry charges only in rare situations, against enemy infantry.
		The Polish air force was destroyed on the ground in the first days of the war: The Polish Air Force, though numerically inferior and lacking modern fighters, was not destroyed on the ground because combat units had been moved from air bases to small camouflaged airfields shortly before the war.

		Its pretext was that Polish troops had committed various "provocations" along the German-Polish border, as well as the dispute between Germany and Poland over the German rights to the Free City of Danzig and a free passage between East Prussia and the rest of Germany through the Polish corridor.
		To defend these territories, the Polish military command compounded their strategic weakness by massing their forces along the western border, in defence of Poland's main industrial areas around Poznań and Łódź, where they could be easily surrounded and cut off.
		Hundreds of thousands of Polish soldiers who had been taken prisoner by the Soviet Union in eastern Poland in 1939, and many other Polish prisoners and deportees, were released and were allowed to leave the country via Iran.

	GERMAN-POLISH DISCUSSIONS.
		The Polish Government, however, by their recent decision to accede to an alliance directed against Germany, have given it to be understood that they prefer a promise of help by a third Power to the direct guarantee of peace by the German Government.
		The Polish Government, however, gave a reply which, although couched in the form of counter-proposals, showed in its essence an entire lack of comprehension for the German point of view and was equivalent merely to a rejection of the German proposals.
		The Polish Government proved that they did not consider their reply suitable for the initiation of friendly discussions by proceeding at the same time, in a manner as unexpected as it was drastic, to effect a partial mobilisation of the Polish army on a large scale.

		After World War I the Prussias were separated by the Polish corridor, much of West Prussia becoming a part of the corridor and a part of it east of the corridor being joined to East Prussia.
		When the Polish corridor was created and when Danzig became a free state after World War I the boundary changes placed Marienburg at the very west edge of East Prussia.
		Because the Polish occupation resulted in the destruction of many records and since most of the remaining records were taken to various places in West Germany, it may never be possible to trace the ancestry to an original source.

		The Polish government drew encouragement from the French alliance, the British guarantee, and, apparently, from an underestimate of German strength and an overestimate of its own capabilities.
		The Polish commander in chief was Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz, inspector general of the armed forces.

	The Nameless War: Appendix 6 - German White Book on the Last Phase of the German-Polish Crisis
		This caused the Reich Government to inform the Polish Government, on August 9th, that a repetition of such demands in the form of an ultimatum would lead to an aggravation of the relations between Germany and Poland, for the consequences of which the Polish government would alone be responsible.
		At the same time, the attention of the Polish Government was drawn to the fact that the maintenance of the economic measures adopted by Poland against Danzig would force the Free City to seek other export and import possibilities (Document 4).
		The Polish government answered this communication from the Reich Government with an aide-Memoire of August 10th, handed to the German Embassy in Warsaw, which culminated in the statement that Poland would interpret every intervention of the Reich Government in Danzig matters, which might endanger Polish rights and interests there, as an aggressive action (Document 5).

		The mention of the Versailles treaty and the "Polish corridor" aren't quite adequate enough to describe the enthusiasm with which East Prussia voted for Hitler in 1933.
		With a re-born Polish state, East Prussia was literally cut off and had no direct land link to Germany.
		This time they were not Russian, but came from Poland: victims of pogroms, young Jewish soldiers who had been badly treated in the Polish Army, families fleeing persecution and economic ruin.

		The territory in question was known as the Polish Corridor, a narrow strip of land which gave Poland access to the sea and cut off East Prussia from the rest of Germany.
		Poland had been granted this sea corridor after World War I by the Treaty of Versailles, which also designated Danzig as a Free City operating under the supervision of the League of Nations.
		Thus they were more susceptible to being pressured by the Nazis into some kind of agreement concerning Danzig and the Polish Corridor.
