I'm going to stand up for all my fellow "ski's"! :)
It's pretty easy to overrun a country when you launch a complete surprise attack with superior equipment and numbers and then tag team with an equally impressive military force 17 days later (the Soviet Union). Frankly, I don't recall too many other European countries fairing much better even with adequate warning until they all banded together. Not only that, but Poland NEVER formally surrendered.
Plus, if it weren't for Polish cryptographers, it would have taken much longer to crack the enigma machine, which was arguably one of the greatest steps towards allied victory.
So you're welcome! :p

Here's a little light reading for those who think Poland just rolled over and died in the first month of the war.

Be proud of your country, fellow Poles! :)
