I agree that all these were myths.

What seems to be true, however, is that Poland understood Britain and France would attack Germany. Therefore the Polish armed forces fought a delaying action to give the Anglo-French forces time to get their shit together. The attacks could have been directly into Germany across the Maginot Line by the Anglo-French armies and/or by the Royal Navy breaking into the Baltic.

Instead the Anglo-French forces did next to nothing, and failed even to study the German technique in order to prepare themselves for the onslaught in 1940.

The country that suffered the worst in WWII was without any doubt Poland, and many Brits, including myself, continue to be conscious-stricken about it.
