Germany - The Campaign against Poland - 04 Apr to 29 Apr 1937

04 Apr 1937: My planned lines of attack. I want to encircle the 11 Polish divisions in the west around Poznan and smash through their defences at Kraków in the south.
I activate all my armies and we have mostly'green' battles.
05 Apr 1937: The world has noticed.
The 'green 87' at Kattowicz west of Kraków is looking good.
10 Apr 1937: Breakthrough east of Poznan and a massive breach in the Polish defences at Kraków which is now in our hands, The road to Warsaw is wide open.
11 Apr 1937: The difference in casualties says everything.
12 Apr 1937: The Kraków breach in more detail. South of Kraków a captured airfield is already being used by the Luftwaffe.
13 Apr 1937: The situation one day later.
14 Apr 1937: Poznan has been captured and the 5 remaining Polish divisions will soon be neutralized. I order 3rd Army to push towards Warsaw (I didn't replace Paulus after all - it takes 30 days).
16 Apr 1937: Poland is about 50% towards capitulation.
18 Apr 1937: We are closing in on Warsaw.
19 Apr 1937: Finally some progress in the north and I order some divisions in the west to storm eastwards.
20 Apr 1937: We are attacking Warsaw from the west and the south.
21 Apr 1937: The fall of Warsaw is imminent (green 99).
22 Apr 1937: Warsaw has been captured.
Poland is now 80% towards capitulation.
23 Apr 1937: Now I need to capture cities to gain Victory Points.
24 Apr 1937: Our forces in East Prussia are a bit thin but even if they capture all of East Prussia it won't change Poland's fate. I divert forces though.
26 Apr 1937: Almost there.
28 Apr 1937: A couple more cities in eastern Poland should finish them off.
29 Apr 1937: The war is over.
In the Peace negotiations I demand all 18 Polish states....
....and receive them. Poland has been annexed.
The new German Reich with some Lebensraum
This is new. Useful?
The Global Summary and we are now 3rd in the world.
What's new is that General Bock gives me 0.3 Army XP/day instead of 0.09 which enabled me to change my Panzer-Divisionen much earlier. I could also upgrade my Panzer II's much earlier.
