why did they fall so fast during ww2
Germany had more divisions, more artillery, more tanks and more aircraft

>>18124090? Lions don't live in Poland
>>18122805Most villagers did not have a national consciousness in the early Republic of Poland. To a degree, when the Germans invaded, there was no resistance in rural areas despite the hardline nationalism and resistance in the cities.The Germans tried to take advantage of this by labeling rural Poles as "Goralenvolk" and counting them among the Volksdeutsche. However, since they were so poorly educated, they had no concept of what a nation was. Thus, "Goralenvolk" recruits were often a disaster for the German army, as they would run away from combat and did not listen to orders. They could not be disciplined.Essentially, Poland was an enormous village during this time, making it impossible to modernize. The Germans could instill ideologies in the general population, not national identity, but general ideology. During the early communist rule, the Polish local authorities often emulated their past German overlords and subjected the Jews to pogroms.The Ethiopia of Europe.
>>18124119>During the early communist rule, the Polish local authorities often emulated their past German overlords and subjected the Jews to pogroms.I'm not kidding. Just as the DERG in Ethiopia did not know that communism was against racism and ethno-nationalism, the Polish communists were also unaware that they could not act like Nazis while being communists:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Jewish_violence_in_Poland,_1944%E2%80%931946- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krak%C3%B3w_pogromThe DERG emulated Italian fascism and Polish socialism. In the early days of liberation, they tried to emulate Nazis. Imagine being this uneducated.
>>18124119only germans are enough of a cattle to march into russia by millions and freeze to death because a failed painter told them to do so
>>18124129They could have at least tried to defend their own country. They were not good for their own nation, nor were they good for the enemy. They were a bunch of scattered shepherd tribes.Most of the anti-German resistance came from the cities rather than the rural areas. Warsaw, in particular, resisted the Germans with everything it had.

>>18124119>>18124126Maybe being divided for 100+ years by three empires that weren't interested in promoting their national identity in the slightest has something to do with it. Obviously the most educated class, the urban folk, knew what was at stake and fought for it, but who was going to educate peasants? 20 years of independence in turmoil wasn't nearly enough
>>18124129So if it had been a successful painter, that would somehow change everything?Why are liberals like this?

>>18122805Because it was ruled by descendants of degenerate, libtarded class called szlachta. This is what happens when you put liberal and progressive politics into the place.Maybe westoids should learn from it
