Hah! Actually, the Poles in 1939 stood their ground pretty well against the Germans, and fought better than the French in 1940 (that's not saying much!) What really did them in were Hitler's Red buddies attacking from the East (pursuant to the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact). They just could not handle the two-front war...
Where does Coanda come in? If those 20 defenders had had an A-10 they could have killed off those 25k Polacks in an afternoon instead of surrendering after holding out for a month!

They sure ran away from the Germans.

I know. The pun was too good to pass up. Poor Jan Sobiesky didn't provide an adequate heir.
Jan Sobieski had a famous fight with the Romanians. Surely you must have heard of this, yes?
