Not really. Poland fought two war in the last 100 years. Won one and lost the other. And the one it lost it still held out about as long as France, despite being hopelessly out numbered, out gunned and attacked from all sides. (France and the UK actually had superiority in tanks and troop numbers during the Battle of France.)
Plus who is laughing now? Poland beat the Soviets when they did not have German help, and Poland is doing fine today while the Soviet Union is long dead.
Looks like when compared with Poland the Soviets were the loser.
The allies lost the battle of france as badly as they did because the Germans outplayed them by doing a gamble that would have been disastrous for them if they were caught doing it and because the French military was still very much in a WW1 mindset. France also was not that politically stable
Very true. My point is simply that unlike it is often portrayed the Poles did not fight badly. They just had no chance given their lack of numbers, equipment and horrible geographic position.
