The Polish had an extremely fine cavalry before WWII. Plenty of troops. They even had some decent tanks. That wasn't the problem.
The problem was that they didn't adapt to the changing nature of 20th Century mobile warfare fast enough.
Tanks in Ukraine have a very different role than they did in WWII. Russia used to have the largest stockpile of tanks on the planet. Used to. Not anymore. Were they all used to capture huge tracts of land? Nope. Picked off by mines, artillery, bazookas, and drones in futile assaults.
Poland should be in the news, but for increasingly becoming a far-right state fueled by their weird religious hate.
Poland‘s main problem in WW2 was being attacked by two stronger armies from two sides. Resupply over the Baltic Sea was also not really feasible.
