So, I was reading this thread in chat, and I noticed all the comments about how good the Czech arms industry was, in particular of how the Germans continued to use Czech-designed tanks throughout WWII, and a thought struck me...
What if Czechoslovakia and Poland had been closer allies during the interwar period, and had a good enough relationship that Poland could purchase some of those Czech tanks (and maybe some other Czech designs) to modernize its armed forces, and that the two countries could have signed a mutual defense pact against Germany. The Polish-Czech alliance seems like it could have done much better against the Germans than either did historically, especially if France or Britain were helping it.
Any thoughts?
