The German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 marked the start of World War II in Europe. Europe's greatest industrial power pitted its newly modernised army and air force against the much smaller Polish defences. Panzer divisions spearheaded the German assault, with Stuka dive-bombers prowling ahead spreading terror and mayhem. The Polish army was not as backward as it is often portrayed, and fielded a tank force larger than that of the contemporary US Army. Its stubborn defence gave the Germans some surprises, and German casualties were relatively heavy for such a short campaign.
