How was Germany able to do so well at the beginning of the world wars considering it was up against huge enemies?

Most other countries, especially France and Poland, were miles behind technologically. The German troops were able to have constant communication via radio, in France and Poland they still sent couriers for that. On the eastern flank, Poland tried to send **cavalry** against tanks and mechanized infrantry.
Additionally to that, the allies waited way too long to intervene, Germany could rearm and make significant technological advances in heavy weaponry, while the allies still were in denial about a war being on the horizon.
That’s the two biggest factors I’d say. Germany was able to fire a devastating first punch, but the combined efforts of the allies quickly catched up technologically and in numbers.
