Operation Polish Offensive (Ignorance)

Operation Polish Offensive was a Polish battle plan for the liberation of the Baltic States and the invasion of Russia. Enacted on July 2, 2019, in the early stages of WWIII, this plan involved sending most of the Polish Army to attack Kaliningrad Oblast, Belarus, and Lithuania, while putting land fortificatons throughout most of the border zones, as well as fortifying the coast from any amphibious invasions by Russia. This plan proved to be an initial success, but was dropped once a massive Russian invasion force invaded Poland on October 23, 2019.
== Plan ==
The plan was to push through Kaliningrad, Lithuania and Belarus with 300,000 soldiers, while building fortifications along the Polish border with Russian-aligned nations and nations under Russia occupation. The plan called for:
* Kaliningrad to be in Polish hands by the end of August 2019
* To reach Vilnius and liberate Lithuania by early December 2019
* To reach Minsk and occupy Belarus by mid-January 2020
* If all goes well, to land an amphibious invasion in Estonia
* To liberate the entirety of the Baltic States by June 2020
* To push Russia out of Ukraine by March 2021
* To invade Russia proper
== Outcome ==
Operation Polish Offensive went well until mid-September, when the Russian and Belarussian armies grouped and won a major battle in Klaipeda, Lithuania on September 20, then the Russians steadily pushed back the Polish forces out of Kalingrad, Lithuania and Belarus and had taken Bialystok, Lublin and Olzstyn by the end of the year. Most of the 300,000 troops were killed, and the sheer number of Russian troops crossing the border nullified the forifications. However, they did accomplish one of their goals: Kalingrad was in Polish hands by August 6.
