It would need a very strong air superiority bombing primary industrial areas for 24 hours before the Luftwaffe could mount a defense. It is debatable concerning the speed/ability for the Wehrmacht to mobilize anti-air.

Ground war would be laughable concerning a Polish offensive unless they had that air-superiority and perhaps special forces posing as civilians to supplement the offensive. If Poland managed the offensive with anti-nazi and foreign support under the guise of stopping an invasion, the chances are slim but possible.

Although once again, speculative history is as useful as dungeon and dragons

no, the germans would burn the pastures and the polish horses would die of starvation

It's funny because the Germans were so reliant on horse for their supplies

No, that was never on the table, Poland was buddies with the Germans before the Anglo guarantee in march 1939, they even partitioned Czechoslovakia between each other.

The real question is, could Czechoslovakia fight off the Germans in '38, provided France would attack from the west?

Real quick.
With what i had said, that is mechanized warfare 101. Germans would make all polish ground assault somewhat unviable. Where is Polands industrial capabilities? Near zero. As i had said, i would need to convince allies with superior air support or a magical supply of airplanes to even have a chance at cripling Germany's mechanization for war when The national socialist pig-dogs furher took power.

Poland like any nation-state small AND large in Europe had a history of great military victories, and maybe the idea of Polish courage in a time of crisis could sieze the day.

The question is logistics and tactical superiority in an age of rapid military technological growth.

As we all know the German armies capabilities were far more limiting than the pre and post-war propaganda would have us believe.

I mean, Poland stopped the Soviets in 1920...

Nigga, you ever even played a grand strategy game? No, Poland didn't stand a chance.

Poland had about twenty WWI tanks. Also they still used Knight like armor. Yeah, they didn't have the technology to compete with Germany, nor sparse the resources to stop the Soviets.
