The Battle of Warsaw, 1920. The Communist Bolsheviks Routed
Manage episode 437971761 series 3591999
The crushing defeat of the Red Army in Poland did more than just carve out Poland’s post-World War I borders and halt the crimson tide of communism in its tracks; it also unfurled a bloody canvas of tactics that appears to have captivated the minds of German military planners. Those same brutal, fast-moving maneuvers would be perfected and unleashed with devastating precision across Europe in the fires of World War II.
