Polish Hussars charge German tanks during WWII



I particularly like the saber action on the windshield of the Opel
Blitz! It was somewhat less effective on the tank however!

    Polish cavalry did not fight on horseback against German tanks in World War II. This is only a fantasy author of the movie "Lotna", Andrzej Wajda

    But totally in keeping with the tradition of the Polish cavalryman.

    Well equipped? No.
    Well supported? No.
    Heavily outnumbered? Yes.
    Brave? Oh HELL yeah.
