Polish updates
The Poles fought very well, but they were outnumbered and didn't have the tactics to defeat the invading Germans. I've made updates to the history, 7TP, and TKS pages.

Polish Tank Units and Numbers added/updated
Added some numbers to the ever conflicting numbers of tanks the Polish forces had when Germany invaded. Also, this is the first time I've seen numbers on what some of the different Polish units had in the way of numbers of tanks. Whether you believe them or not is up to you.

Poland's Divisions added
It's been pointed out to me that my information isn't very accurate or extensive on Poland, so today I'm going to start working on updating the information on Poland, starting with listing the Polish Divisions that were formed after 1939. Hopefully I'll find more information on the ones used in 1939.

Poland's PZL P.11, fighter photo added
With enemies all around, Poland had to try to and field a well armed military. Unfortunately the Poles just didn't have the capacity to fully modernize its military in time for World War II. Though the fighter planes it used were outdated compared to many of the German and some of the Russian planes, it still fielded some very capable aircraft. One of these was the PZL P.11.
I've added a new photo of it.

Poland's PZL P.37 Los (elk), medium bomber added
Just when you were still thinking that all Polish military aircraft weren't up to modern (for the late 1930s) designs, along come the PZL P.37 Los medium bomber. Though it was produced in large number and didn't win any decisive battles it was very well regarded by foreign powers, and many were wanting to purchase the P.37 for their own military air forces.

Poland's PZL P.11, fighter updated
The Polish Air Force had some highly motivated fighter pilots but unfortunately for them they had outdated planes. The PZL P.11 was the main fighter they used to fight against the Germans. In the short time they fought in the air, they shot down 125 Luftwaffe planes for a loss of 114 of their own.
I've added additional specification and production information for the P.11.
