Introduction |
---|
Overnight, Army Lodz shifted the 2nd Light Tank Battalion to support 19th Infantry Division, adding another tank battalion and a different motorized rifle battalion. The Polish armor would counter-attack the German panzer division once it became involved with the defending infantry. Poland had formed two combined-arms brigades before the war with tanks and motorized infantry, but instead of using either of these Rommel would commit an ad hoc grouping of units that had never worked together. |
Conclusion |
---|
The initial German assault on the Polish infantry failed, and just as they finally managed a penetration Polish tanks appeared to restore the situation. The Polish vehicles were slower but better-armored, better-armed and better-led than the panzers; in the initial counter-attack the Polish tank battalion claimed 17 tanks, 14 armored cars and a pair of self-propelled guns while the Germans admitted the loss of 11 panzers. German anti-tank and artillery fire finally drove off the Polish tanks; just how many 7TP were lost here (and not during the subsequent retreat) is unclear. |
