Introduction |
---|
Col. Stanislaw Maczek of the 10th Mechanized Cavalry Brigade did not believe he could remain passively on the defense. The German 2nd Panzer Division vastly outnumbered his force in every category. To disrupt the pending German attack, Maczek ordered a night assault with a battalion detached from the 6th Infantry Division and two squadrons of dismounted motorized cavalry. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Polish units attacked separately, alerting the Germans and allowing them to drive off the attackers with minimal losses. The Poles came away with valuable intelligence, including prisoners and the 2nd Panzer Division’s code books. Polish civilians had more success, lighting gasoline storage tanks aflame resulting in an explosion that killed a number of Germans and destroyed several tanks. The Germans returned in October to burn the village of Wysoka and massacre its inhabitants. |
