Polish Army HQ
Considering Poland's location and centuries of involvement in major European conflicts, Polish officers came from a society that deeply valued military tradition. After wresting independence from neighbouring powers at the end of WWI, Poland was in a state of almost constant conflict through the 1920s and 30s. By 1939, most officers in the Polish military were experienced and capable leaders.

Polish Army Medium Machine Gun Team
The Polish CKM wz.30 was an almost exact copy of the American M1917 machine gun, fielded in a fashion similar to other European nations and chambered in the standard 7.92mm round used by most Polish riflemen. Several thousand were produced in the build-up to WWII. The CKM Hotchkiss wz.14 and CKM Maxim were also used alongside it.

Polish Army Medium Mortar Team
Poland made use of 81mm mortars of similar design to most other nations of the period. Though not as commonplace in the Polish Army as in some other forces, when available they proved a reliable and effective indirect fire platform in the hands of well-trained Polish crews.
