    Polish Infantry Platoon Command 1939

    Each Polish Infantry Platoon Headquarters controlled the


    infantry sections assigned to it. A full strength platoon HQ
    controlled its mortars section, its ATR crew, and 3 squads.
    The Polish Infantry Command costs more than its
    BGWWII counterparts in the German Army as it comes
    with its own inherent mortar section and ATR.

    Poland had long been wary of attack from her more


    powerful neighbors, Germany and the Soviet Union.
    Following the First World War a series of policies were
    put into place to develop and strengthen the military
    organization and might of Poland in order to counter
    these possible longer term threats.

    The Poles had devised a range of strategies for dealing


    with invasions. The armed forces had undertaken
    maneuvers that simulated invasions from Germany,
    Russia and both simultaneously. As a result the armed
    forces were allocated areas of the frontier that they
    were to defend. Cavalry units were to scout an area of Polish Infantry Platoon Costs
    some 9km, infantry units then had fortified positions

    that acted as the main line of defense and then major Class
    cities had their own battalions which would defend Green 8 240 A
    individual sites of strategic importance. These were to
    be supported by the Polish air force and the motorized Regular 10 280 A
    brigades.

    Some historians have claimed that the Poles were
    caught by surprise in September 1939. This appears to

    be far from the truth. By 1939 Polish cryptographers
    had managed to break the codes of several German
    cipher machines (better known as Enigma). This meant
    that German communications were not entirely secure
    and provided the Poles with advance notice of troop’s Each Polish Infantry Platoon Headquarters comes with:

    thus diminishing the weight of force that could be
