Ahem...
First - no navy cuts. You all forget that Germany was not the only one agressive neighbour - fleet was needed to keep sea lines to France open, in event of war with USSR.
Second - smn said no PZL-37 medium bomber. Leave them alone - they were misused in September 1939. If they were used against Luftwaffe airfileds...
Third - fighter planes. There are a number of possible changes: 1. Instead of making PZL-38 Wilk twin-engined, make it one-engined. Wilk was supposed to be, IIRC, a fighter-bomber, so it's not that hard to make a change. Then you'd have a prototype of modern fighter in early 1937... 2. Continue PZL-11 development up to the version with Mercure VIII in 1937/8 - not the most modern, but 50 km/h better than the best in-line figher 1939 OTL. 3. Cancel PZL-44 passenger plane programme - it'd cut a year of development of PZL-50.
Four - DO NOT WITHDRAW deep into country - at least at first. Say that Polish Army set up positions leaving Greater Poland and Pomerania for German to march into. Because the Wehrmacht in that scenario may walk in, almost reach Polish lines... And then Hitler calls for international conference: "They left those lands by themselves, so they apparently don't want them."
Five - almost forgot - do not let French force in 1921 Poland to keep at peacetime 30 infantry divisions nad 9-10 cavalry divisions, and make the Polish offer hold: 21 infantry and 7 cavalry divisions. 70% of OTL - if the military budget stays the same, it means much more money to spend on armanents.
That's it for now...
