WWII - The Invasion of Poland (1939): Every Hour

NOTE: Regarding the time used in the video, this does not use exact timing. This means that for instance 5:30 was still counted as under 5 am. I know I shouldn't have put 05:00 and instead 5 am to provide better indication but I just want to let you know the system I always use

Music
Audiomachine - Blitzkrieg
Colossal Trailer Music - Devour (the credits in the video credited the wrong creator/s, I apologize)

This video will show you how the invasion actually happened as opposed to what other videos show. This video does not intend to simplify the details, and aims to have the utmost accuracy as it could possibly be. Mistakes are still possible and if you notice them then I (the creator) will take full responsibility for the mistakes.

The Germans, whose mobile vehicles rush before the infantry are what the West calls the first application of "Blitzkrieg" (lightning war). This method of combat in simple terms, is the application of old-conventional warfare with the use of modern technology (radios, tanks and planes) instead of trenches. This helped them cause shock and confusion to the Polish side of the frontlines and achieve a great victory.
But this did not mean they were flawless. In fact, the German commanders were not satisfied with the performance of the Wehrmacht due to the apparent lack of coordination and discipline. The Poles fought valiantly despite their lack of preparation and equipment. Pro-German narratives have unfortunately tarnished these achievements.
To finish, according to research, every village faced the brutality of the Wehrmacht alone (every local government in villages mentioned about every individual affect of the German occupation in each and every village), let alone every town and city, so that goes the so called "clean Wehrmacht" narrative. It is a myth.
Most of the victims were Poles and Jews. The Ukrainians would also take part of these war crimes but with some Ukrainians facing the truth that the Nazis were not there to liberate them.

Terminology
OUN - Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists
SZP - Polish Victory Service
ZWZ - Union of Armed Struggle

Methodology
Wikipedia and the book Case White: The Invasion of Poland by Robert Forczyk were used as primary sources for this project.
In order to have all of the places portrayed as accurate as possible, every literary works about every single village/town/city history was researched.
Many areas did not have a specific hour and assumptions were made. Normally, a soldier would wake up at dawn (03:50). Nobody would be able to tell the exact hours of events it's not like I was involved in the invasion or anything...
Foreign sources were used since English sources would not be able to cover everything about an event that occurred outside the English world.
