Weisung Nr. 7/Fall "Weiss" The combined armed forces of the German Wehrmacht are heretowith ordered to prepare a decisive blow against Polish forces. General Orders: Luftwaffe: The Polish Air Force is to be knocked out early by preemptive strikes. Luftflotte 1 and 3 are to be strenghtened by Kampfgeschwader (tactical bombers) from Luftflotte 2. Luftflotte 2 will receive additional Jagdgeschwader (fighters) from Luftflotte 1 and 3 to increase protection against the allied air thread in the west. After the destruction of the Polish Air forces the primary goal of Luftflotte 1 and 3 is the support of land units. Kriegsmarine: The Kriegsmarine`s single goal will be to hinder the escape of Polish Naval units through the Sund. No Polish naval unit is allowed to join the western allies. Major heavy units and asw capable units are therefore to be dispatched to that sea zone. Wehrmacht: The first and main strike is directed against Polish forces west of the Wisla. Intelligence reports indicate three armies with at least 15 divisions. Two Panzergruppen are to be formed. They will strike along the river from north and south, meeting at either the city of Lodz or Radom. Infantry corps will follow up. Major resistance is to be excepted in the north at Bydgoszsz, Panzergruppe 1 under General Rommel is therefore to be supported by Army Group v. Manstein. While the Panzergruppen encircle the enemy, Army Group v. Kluge is ordered to execute feints against the Polish western armies, effectivley holding them in place. Army Group Brauchitsch will follow the path of Panzergruppe 2, commanded by General v. Manteuffel. Army Group Ostpreussen (eastern prussia) will only take defensive actions until phase 2 starts. After the encirclement Army Groups v. Kluge and Brauchitsch will destroy the remaining Polish forces in the West. Army Group v. Manstein will support Panzergruppe 1 and 2 in crossing the river. The commanders of the Panzergruppen are responsible for finding a suitable crossing area. They will then strike south of Warszaw to the city of Suwalki, effectively encircling the units in the Warszaw- Bug-Wisla area. Army Group Reserve will secure the path. After encircling, both Panzergruppen and Army Groups Ostpreussen, v. Manstein and Reserve are to destroy the encircled enemy. Army Groups v. Kluge and Brauschitsch will advance further east. Phase 3 of the operation is suspected to meet only weak resitance. The destruction of the remaining Polish forces in the east will be executed by Panzergruppe 1, Army Group v. Kluge and Brauchitsch. Army Group v. Manstein and Reserve, as well as Panzergruppe 2 will be transferred to the west. Army Group Ostpreussen will be given the task of garnisoning Poland. Attack will commence on September, 1., 1939 at 5:00 hours.
