The German plan of attack on Poland was as follows?

1. 10 Divisions from East Prussia to march down in a SSW

In the meantime, the French army in the West is putting pressure on the German lines in the Saar basin and the Vosges mountains This diversion has drawn off some six Germani divisions from the East and thus considerably relieved the Polish army.
