The Invasion of Poland: 'Case White' - TWiE The First Blitzkrieg

Along the Polish Border - 1st September 1939: "A Gathering Storm" had been building in Europe, and then lightning struck in the form of the First Blitzkrieg. Hitler unleashed five Armies in a lightning attack on Poland from the north, west, and south. Air strikes crushed the weak Polish Army Aviation on the ground, as nine Panzer Divisions led the drive into Poland, quickly slicing through the Polish Army, which was made up largely of infantry units, supported by a few horse cavalry and light tank brigades. By 27th of September it was over. Warsaw had fallen and the Polish government had fled to Romania. Sir Winston Churchill called this "a perfect specimen of the modern Blitzkrieg", and the Poles were not to be the last to endure this ordeal! Can the Polish troops delay the inevitable or will the Germans surpass the historical precedent set in September of 1939?
