Next week there will be two videos.
The Tuesday video will be about my lessons learned during Military Service. 6 Lessons + final remarks. Since it is basically an impression/opinion/personal video it was recorded in person, as you see above. Also I wanted to get some experience in those kinds of videos, since I always like to do new stuff.

The Friday video, well, it should be around the Invasion of Poland or something. Now, I am really struggling right now, because I wanted to do a video on the lessons learned by the Wehrmacht, but although some of my sources include something on that, the quality and depth is severely lacking.
So, if you have an idea for a video/question around the Invasion of Poland, please let me know.

I have a question. Could you tell us something about the german tank divisions? How many tanks Germans had in Poland in 1939? How many of Pzkpfw IV were really used in combat during the Polish campaign? And how many were lost?

I may be mistaken, but from my limited knowledge on this topic am I correct in saying a number of polish pilots flew with the Royal Air Force during WWII, post Polish capitulation. Is this correct, and if yes, how did some of the polish Air Force reach Great Britain?

not entirely sure, but the RAF had quite some Polish fighter pilots. Most Polish forces escaped through Romania if I am not mistaken. I think around 100 000 made it. Sorry, for the late answer.

To be honest I am surprised with the Wehrmacht's early successes as you would think their extended flanks after an initial breakthrough would be extremely vulnerable to counterattack and horse drawn wagons are not exactly resistant to shell fragments. Were there no real tactical or strategic mobile reserves in the Polish army to attempt this?

well, the Polish forces were already over-extended and badly equipped. Another aspect is that the Germans were very well equipped with radios, thus counter-attacks were less of a threat. And in case they happened, the Germans turned around and dealt with such attacks. Luckily, I just remember the part were Citino notes this: "In addition, they [Polish Forces] were facing in the German army a force that could stop on a dime, turn around, and launch large-scale operations in a way that was not yet typical of western armies." (Citino, Robert M.: The German Way of War, p. 264) Additionally (spoiler this quote will be in the video if there is not a major change): “It is true that having to go it alone against the Wehrmacht present the Polish high command under General Eduard Rydz-Smigly with several bad options. It is equally true that he chose the worst one possible: attempting to defend every inch of the country’s overlong border.” (Citino, Robert M.: The German Way of War, p. 265) In some cases the German overran or bombed the assembly areas.
