Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv ---** Description **--- Basic structure and organization of a Polish Infantry Division in 1939 visualized. This video shows the basic composition of an infantry division, how many men and officers. Furthermore, what type of weapons were used in general and in what numbers. Finally, a short overview on how the division was organized in sub units and the composition of an infantry company in terms of men and equipment. The sources on the composition of Polish Infantry Division in 1939 differ on certain values, also there were different setups. Furthermore, especially on the equipment there was a wide variation inside the Polish Army, after the Polish State at that point was quite young. Especially in terms of artillery and field guns the designations and types vary according to the different sources, hence some of the shown guns may not be accurate, nevertheless the numbers and caliber should be correct. See notes on Accuracy & “Methodology” (bottom) for more detailed information. ---** Social Media **--- facebook: https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ twitter: https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ ---** Credits & Special Thanks **--- The Counter-Design is heavily inspired by Black ICE Mod for the game Hearts of Iron 3 by Paradox Interactive https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/blackice.467/ ---** Sources **--- --* Books *-- Ellis, John: World War II - A Statistical Survey - The Essential Facts & Figures for All the Combatants, Edition: 1995 reprinted with corrections There is a newer version from 2002, which has a different name, but from the same author, you might consider that one: Ellis, John: The World War II Data Book --* Websites & Links *-- http://niehorster.org/029_poland/organizations/div-inf.html http://www.cgsc.edu/CARL/nafziger/939PXPG.PDF http://derela.republika.pl/artillery.htm https://en.
