Listen "114 - Blitzkrieg! The Germans Invade Poland"
Episode Synopsis
Ok, here we are, poised right on the edge of World War II. I’m going to try to not bog down as much as I did on the US Civil War, but I still have 9 episodes planned to cover World War II. Is that bogging down? I can’t imagine doing it in less episodes than that. Too much interesting and important stuff is about to happen. Also, what happens during the war, including who wins which battles, who gains and loses territory, and what happens to governments during and after the war will make a big difference in our modern world. So to set the stage for all that happens geopolitically after the war, we have to look pretty closely at what happens during the war. Plus, World War II was kind of the last time that the world made any sense, and we’ll need to talk about that at some point. Anyway, at the end of our last episode, we left about 106 German divisions poised along the Polish border. That’s not an ominous sign, is it?Website: shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail: [email protected]
