the description on September 3rd 1939

when the UK and France declared war on

Germany both Polish people and

government officials became enthusiastic

hoping massive support from their allies esperando el apoyo masivo de sus aliados

on the streets there were spontaneous en las calles hubo espontáneo

demonstrations of support for the French

and British

some people expected again a conflict on

two fronts thus Germany would be forced

to withdraw some of their troops but para retirar algunas de sus tropas pero

nothing major happened one reason could no pasó nada importante, una razón podría

be unprepared miss neither France nor No esté preparado, no se pierda ni Francia ni

Great Britain were prepared for an

upcoming conflict and they were not

looking forward for another one before

this there were some settlements between

Germany Great Britain France and Italy

that permitted German annexation of the

Sudetenland in western Czechoslovakia Sudetes en el oeste de Checoslovaquia

where about three million people in the

Sudeten area where of German origin it

became known in May 1938 that plan was

made for the occupation of

Czechoslovakia neither France nor Checoslovaquia ni Francia ni

Britain felt prepared to defend Gran Bretaña se sintió preparada para defender

Czechoslovakia however both were anxious

to avoid a military confrontation with

Germany at almost any cost after this

event the German officials doubted that

Chamberlain the Prime Minister of Great

Britain had the stomach to go to war in Gran Bretaña tuvo el estómago para ir a la guerra en

defense of Poland and that's why Germany defensa de Polonia y por eso Alemania

went on a full-scale offensive in the

East at this point Germany gambled its

chance they believed that the Allies

will not declare war and even after they

did the big hope was that they will not ¿La gran esperanza era que no

attack and that's what happened another

reason the hope for peace judging what

happened we can assume that France and

Great Britain hoped until the last

second to avoid again a new great

conflict but the invasion of Poland

should have been the end of these hopes

here the problems probably was the

immaturity of both French and British

governments the French especially tried

so hard to avoid war there was some

defeatism among the French while on the

other side the society was pushed to al otro lado la sociedad fue empujada al

fanatism and militarism the memories

from the Great War of how France

suffered a long-lasting conflict the sufrió un conflicto de larga duración el

impact on the economy at the time plus impacto en la economía en ese momento más

the indecision of its government to take

profit from a huge opportunity to defeat aprovechar una gran oportunidad para derrotar

Germany in the first phase of the war

made France a victim after some months convirtió a Francia en una víctima después de algunos meses

those two first weeks could have changed

history

but the moment was lost in Poland

couldn't resist against no pude resistir contra

big opponents then the realization by grandes oponentes entonces la realización por

the middle of September that the Polish

armies were so badly defeated and that

the Germans would soon be able to move

their superior forces to the west

created a fear of German superiority in creó un miedo a la superioridad alemana en

arms and in the air also the French armas y en el aire también los franceses

government had insisted from the start

that the British air force should not que la fuerza aérea británica no debería

bomb targets in Germany for fear of bombardear objetivos en Alemania por temor a

reprisal on French factories this bad

decision greatly affected the morale of decisión afectó mucho la moral de

soldiers in both camps France being seen soldados en ambos campos Francia siendo visto

as a weak country with no sense of

action by the German authorities this

mistake will lead to the conquest of

France by German troops eight months

later due again to poor decisions this

has created some jokes about the French

army but these jokes are not true the

problem was not in the French army or

with the ordinary French soldier but

with the weak decisions and strategies

put in place by the government the

Allies considered it madness for Germany

to attack France given its strong ally atacar a Francia dado su fuerte aliado

the United Kingdom also having a large el Reino Unido también tiene una gran

army and some huge defense structures on

the Maginot Line that is why they

preferred the defence of their own

country and did not consider a major

attack on Germany to a certain extent

Germany was underestimated even if an

allied offensive would have been poorly

prepared the Allies would have had a

huge advantage against the Germans

Germany had only 23 divisions on the

Western Front while the Allies had a

hundred and ten divisions and those ciento diez divisiones y esas

German divisions were poorly equipped

compared to those in Poland the French

had four to one advantage in artillery

and the Germans hardly had any planes

there a German General declared that

Germany would easily be defeated in 1939

if the Allies helped the poles the bulk si los aliados ayudaron a los polos a granel

of manpower as well as nearly all

mechanized units and Luftwaffe were used

against Poland

if we did not collapse already in the si no nos derrumbamos ya en el

year 1939 that was due only to the fact

that during the Polish campaign the

approximately a hundred and ten French

and British divisions on the west were

held completely inactive against the 23 mantenido completamente inactivo contra el 23

German divisions another German General

stated that if the French had attacked

in full force in September 1939 the

German army could only have held out for El ejército alemán sólo podría haber resistido durante

one or two weeks in 1939 both France and

Britain were massive colonial powers

facing two of the most powerful enfrentando a dos de los más poderosos

countries in the world would seem like a

bad idea and the British and French

thought this would stop the German

expansion and threatened to go to war if

Poland would be invaded also the Allies

thought that the USSR posed a pensaba que la URSS planteaba un

significant threat to Germany and due to

different ideology and the hatred diferente ideología y el odio

between these regimes a non-aggression

pact seemed highly unlikely after making pacto parecía muy improbable después de hacer

a pact with the Soviets the British and

French were indeed surprised but they Los franceses estaban realmente sorprendidos, pero

still tried to call for peace sending

Germany and ultimatum and waiting for

the reply however after the devastating la respuesta sin embargo después de la devastadora

first world war Britain and France had

kept at peace so all their equipment was

in storage it took weeks for France to

mobilize their artillery the British had

gotten new Spitfires to use instead of obtuve nuevos Spitfires para usar en lugar de

their Hawker hurricanes but had not sus huracanes Hawker pero no habían

swapped the planes as war did not seem

imminent it seems that they didn't see a

new world conflict coming and they just

focused on their own defence by the time centrado en su propia defensa en el momento

they got the stuff together they juntaron las cosas

realized none of their planes could even se dio cuenta de que ninguno de sus aviones podría siquiera

reach Poland without refueling after the

Soviets invaded from the east it was

clear that it was impossible to defend

Poland

France then readied for the invasion of Francia se preparó entonces para la invasión de

the Saarland in Germany but their

commanders believed that the war would

be fought like world war 1 with

stationary forces they did invade the fuerzas estacionarias invadieron el

Saar but the French were half arted Saar, pero los franceses estaban a medio arte.

there was no intention to go in a no había intención de ir en un

full-scale war and the offensive failed

to reach its objective para alcanzar su objetivo

once Poland fell the German troops

strengthened the front line and forced reforzó la línea del frente y obligó

the French to retreat on their initial

defensive position they will never

attack again and after eight months

France will be invaded by Germany they

will capitulate only after 46 days we capitulará sólo después de 46 días
