Polish Campaign (Danzig Corridor)
Danzig Corridor
General, welcome to the front. Our objectives are the capture of the Danzig Corridor, most importantly the city of Danzig and the inland cities of Bydgoszcz and Torun. Additionally capturing the city of Grudziadz, securing the Tuchola forest and seizing the port of Gydnia will free up resources for the rest of the Polish campaign.Pomorze-Bortnowski

15 WDP- Reinforced 7(1)

The Army of Pomerania stands in our way, led by Bortnowski, one of the most celebrated Polish Generals. Despite his prestige, he has failed to persuade his commanders to allow him to fall behind a more defensible position, allowing us to cut his forces in two by seizing Grudziadz and cutting the rail line bwteeen Bydgoszcz and Danzig, trapping many of his troops in the North.
