<ul>
	<li>1st Sep 1939: Nazi troops invade Poland.</li>
	<li>3rd Sep 1939: Britain and France demand Germany to withdraw from Poland. When this doesn&#39;t happen, it&#39;s war!</li>
	<li>By end of September: Poland is toast, divided by Germany &amp; USSR.</li>
</ul>

✨ Fun Fact: Imagine you&#39;re playing a video game where you&#39;re totally unprepared for the boss battle. That&#39;s Poland against Germany&#39;s blitzkrieg! Blitzkrieg = lightning war. 🌩️ + 🥊 = 🇵🇱💥

<ul>
	<li>What? Super-fast warfare style.</li>
	<li>How? Air attacks + tanks (panzers).</li>
	<li>Result? The Luftwaffe (German Air Force) wiped out Polish railways &amp; air force.</li>
</ul>

Real-World Example: It&#39;s like someone knocking out the internet and roads. Life as we know it would be chaos!

<ul>
	<li>Author: Marian Kamil Dziewanowski (He&#39;s got street cred &#39;cause he defended Poland during the invasion).</li>
	<li>Main Point: Despite having the numbers on their side, Britain &amp; France didn&rsquo;t really help Poland. In fact, they had WAY more troops, tanks, and planes than the Germans did on the western side. Yet, they only sent a few patrols, did some recon flights, and occasionally dropped &quot;peace-loving&quot; messages.</li>
</ul>

Visual: Think of two older siblings (Britain &amp; France) watching their younger sibling (Poland) getting bullied and just standing there. Not cool, right?

<ul>
	<li>What does this source reveal about the British and the French response to Nazi aggression?
	<ul>
		<li>Answer: The British and French were majorly passive. Even though they had the strength to counterattack, they mainly sat and watched. 😕</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Analyse the value &amp; limitations of this source for a historian studying the international response to Nazi aggression against Poland:
	<ul>
		<li>Value
		<ul>
			<li>Firsthand Experience: Dziewanowski was there! This provides a personal and direct perspective.</li>
			<li>Detailed Account: Offers specifics on military strength of each side.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Limitations
	<ul>
		<li>Bias Possible: Due to his personal involvement, Dziewanowski may have strong feelings.</li>
		<li>Single Perspective: This is just one person&#39;s view. Others may have seen things differently.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

Real-World Example: It&#39;s like reading a review about a restaurant by someone who once worked there. Their insights can be gold, but remember, they might be a tad biased!
