[00:00:00]Was Poland a German failure?

[00:00:02]The Wehrmacht won in weeks. Everything seemed perfect. Fast-moving armor, air support, total collapse of resistance.

[00:00:11]Yet, German logistics were fragile.

[00:00:14]Fuel was limited. Coordination wasn't flawless. Still, none of it mattered.

[00:00:21]Victory came too fast.

[00:00:23]The German High Command believed Blitzkrieg would work everywhere.

[00:00:26]They believed future campaigns would be just as short.

[00:00:30]Poland was not a failure. It was something worse.

[00:00:34]It was the illusion that shaped the rest of the war.
