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.

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 Though the fighter planes it used were outdated compared to many of the German and some of the Russian planes, it still fielded some very capable aircraft.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.
