Polish September Campaign - Plans.
The German plan Fall Weiss, for what became known as the September campaign, was created by General Franz Halder, chief of the general staff, and directed by General Walther von Brauchitsch, the commander in chief of the upcoming campaign. The plan called for the start of hostilities before the declaration of war and to pursue a traditional doctrine of mass encirclement and destruction of enemy forces, assisted by the Germans' material advantages, including the use of mo ...

| | | | Polish cavalry brigade order of battle: Encyclopedia II - Polish cavalry - Cavalry charges and Nazi propaganda Apart from countless battles and skirmishes in which the Polish cavalry units used the infantry tactics, there were 16 confirmed cavalry charges during the 1939 war. Contrary to common belief, most of them were successful.
The first of them, and perhaps the best known, happened on September 1, 1939, during the Battle of Krojanty. During the action elements of the Polish 18th Uhlans Regiment met a large group of German infantry resting in a woods near the village of Krojanty. Colonel Mastalerz decided to take the enemy by surprise and immediately ordered a cavalry ...

Polish September Campaign - Germany.
Germany had a large numerical advantage over Polish forces, and had developed a significant military. The Wehrmacht had some 2,400 tanks organized into six panzer divisions using the new operational doctrine. They theoretically acted with other units to punch holes in the enemy line and isolate selected enemy units, which the infantry would then encircle and destroy. This would be repeated and followed up by less mobile mechanized infantry and foot soldiers. The German airforc ...

| | | | Polish cavalry brigade order of battle: Encyclopedia II - Polish cavalry - Battle of Grunwald Until 14th century the Polish armed forces were composed mostly of mounted soldiers. Initially only a part of prince's druzyna had horses, but with time the vast plains of Poland made creation of strong mounted units a necessity. By the start of 15th century, the core of the Polish armies was formed by mounted knights called to arms by the kings. The basic tactical unit of the army was a banner (choragiew), that is a group of approximately 50 men financed by a noble clan, a notable person or a land. The banner fought separately and included all the necessary det ...

| | | | Polish cavalry brigade order of battle: Encyclopedia II - Polish cavalry - 16th and 17th centuries In 16th century the introduction of gunpowder and firearms made the mediæval heavy cavalry obsolete. The standing army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was gradually converted to other, more modern forms of cavalry. Under eastern influence, the armament of the cavalrymen was lightened and their speed and mobility increased, which added to the successes of the Polish cavalry in numerous wars against Muscovy, Turkey and the Tartar ...

| | | | Polish cavalry brigade order of battle: Encyclopedia II - Polish cavalry - 20th century: World War II At the outbreak of the Polish Defence War of 1939, the Polish cavalry units were organised in 11 cavalry brigades, each composed of 3 to 4 cavalry regiments with organic artillery, armoured unit and infantry battalion. Two additional brigades had recently been converted to motorized and armoured units, but they retained their cavalry traditions. In addition, every infantry division had a organic cavalry detachment used for reconnaissance.

Damaged machinery can be fixed relatively fast or many of its parts recycled for use in other similar machinery. However, it is a much longer process with an injured horse, and one cannot revive a horse.
Some number of soldiers, instead of being sent to the front lines, were assigned to care for injured and hungry horses during the battle. A probable figure would be up to five percent of the fighting force, which limited combat effec ...

Last Polish cavalry unit, the Representative Squadron of the President of Poland, was disbanded in July of 1948.

The unit got under auspice of the army, which thus returned to its cavalry tradition. The squadron is present at most official anniversary celebration ...

| | | | Polish cavalry brigade order of battle: Encyclopedia II - Polish cavalry - 20th century: the Polish-Bolshevik War After Poland was re-established following WWI in 1918, there were already several Polish cavalry units existing. Some of them were created as parts of either Austro-Hungarian or German Armies while others were created in Russia and as part of the French-based Blue Army. Because of that, each cavalry unit in the reborn Polish Army used different uniforms, different equipment and different strategy. However, all of the units shared the same traditions and ...

Hitler at first ostentatiously pursued a policy of rapprochement with Poland, culminating in the Polish-German Non-aggression pact of 1934. However, following Germany's annexation of Austria in 1938, and most of Czechoslovakia in 1939, under the continued Allied policy of appeasement, the Nazi regime turned its attention to Poland. Of special concern to Germany was the Free City of Danzig and the fact that German exclave of East Prussia was separated from mainland by little- ...
