About the book: 2004 / This book opens a series of works devoted to the war in Eastern and Western Europe in 1939–1941. As a result of lightning-fast attacks by tank armies and massive attacks by German aviation in the spring of 1940, Denmark and Norway fell, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg capitulated, and France found itself under the occupation regime in the summer. But the first on the path of Nazi Germany was Poland... This study covers in detail the course of the Polish military campaign and analyzes the blitzkrieg strategy. The book is equipped with extensive illustrative material reflecting the state of the ground forces, aviation and armored forces of the warring parties.
