German order of battle for the invasion of Poland

thumb|right|upright=1.5|Forces as of 31 August and German plan of attack.

This article details the order of battle of German military units during the invasion of Poland in 1939.

The German army's forces for the invasion of Poland (codename Fall Weiss, English - "Case White") were divided into Army Group North (consisting of the German 3rd and 4th armies) and Army Group South (consisting of the German 8th, 10th, and 14th armies, and the Slovak Army Group Bernolak).

Army Group C was on the western border of Germany defending against a potential French attack. This order of battle is for 04:47 on September 1, after which things started to get shuffled.

Oberkommando des Heeres

Oberkommando des Heeres was the High Command of the Heer. It controlled everything related to the Heer: Personnel, Training, Recruitment, Armaments, Transportation, Supplies, Medical Services, etc. An ongoing problem was that each service branch was its own "kingdom" resulting in massive inefficiency.

Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres Generaloberst Walter von Brauchitsch

Chef des Generalstab des Heeres General der Artillerie Franz Halder

:: Chief of the General Staff of the Army was the head of all of the departments of the Heer except for the armaments section and the replacement army.

Chef der Heeresrüstung und Befehlshaber des Ersatzheeres General der Artillerie Friedrich "Fritz" Fromm

:: Chief of Armaments and Commander of the Replacement Army controlled all army procurement and production, and all of the troops within Germany who were replacements for front line units.

Heeresgruppe C

upright=1|thumb|Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb

Char. Generaloberst z.V. Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb

Heeresgruppe Cs only duty was to protect the western border of Germany from any French attacks until stronger units could be sent back from the east. It was accomplished by deception. The units were generally under strength, most of the infantry unit were missing their heavy weapons platoons, and some entire battalions. There was almost no mobility, except for horses and bicycles. Some of the units were headquarters only to give the impression of a larger presence.
