1. March 1945 the 1st "Warsaw" Independent Cavalry Brigade charged (succesful) positions of 163. Inf. Division in Schonfeld. Some authors say the Polish cavalry charged later in Heckelberg and Grunthal in Brandenburg in 21. April 1945.
In 1947 Polish mounted troops fought against Ukrainian insurgents in south-eastern Poland.
Nice vid but this isn't a battle charge, but a regular cavalry drill. I think the last sabre charge in a battle was, like ORKSIZDABEST previously said, the polish counter-attack from 1939.
But regular drills continued in many european countries, as well as in mine (Romania). My mother's uncle did his military service in the last Romanian Cav. Rgt., in 1951. There are some videos on YT with Romanian cav. drills:

Anyway, thanks for posting. It's a part of history.
@Mar1vs I recall reading about American 7th cav scouts made a charge somewhere in east asia/pacific when fighting Japanese forces, so at earliest 1941
There was at least ONE cav charge made by the US Cavalry in the Phillipines on the J.A. and it was sucsessful butI beleive the C.O. was wounded and by the time he was released from the hospital they had already slaughtered the remaining cav horses

Je pensais que c'était la Pologne en 1939 qui l'avait fait contre le reich allemand.

The cavalry in the phillipines didn't get provisioned. So when the bell tolled for the Cavalry, it was a dinner bell.
