That's true. Poland was chomping at the bit to attack Germany because they
had an overwhelming military advantage. They hemed and hawed, influenced by
Britain and France, while Germany rebuilt. Still, that story about the
Polish cavalry quixotically charging German tanks is a beautiful propaganda
piece to stiffen up the French and British civilians for yet another war.
Like anybody really gave a tinkers dam about Poland except as a pawn in the
Great Game.
