Description
The German Campaign in Poland 1939 provides a detailed examination of the events leading up to and including the invasion of Poland in September 1939. Written by Major Robert M. Kennedy, who was a captive German officer, this volume offers insight into the political situation before the outbreak of war, as well as an analysis of German military developments. The book covers the Polish military situation, the actual German plans for the invasion, and the subsequent operations in great detail, accompanied by ten maps that illustrate the developing military campaign. The first battles are treated chronologically, followed by the destruction of the Polish Armed Forces and the intervention by Russian forces under the terms of the Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement. This study is an important contribution to our understanding of the events that led to the start of World War II, and provides valuable insights into the German reactions to the lessons learned during the campaign.
