@LutzBrux1 Poles has his own tanks 7TP, Renault R35, TKS tankeetes... Cavalary has anti tank weapon Wz. 35 anti-tank rifles - weapon was effective against all German tanks of the period. Cavalary also used Bofors 37 mm anti tank gun. In 1 September 1939 Wołyńska Cavalry Brigade beat 3 German Panzer Divisions in one of the first battles of the invasion; the Battle of Mokra. Cavalary fought like dragoons - they moved on horses but fight on foots.

Maybe it is just a myth, the thing about charging tanks with sabres in horseback. But in my eyes, it gives a much more heroic idea of the Poles than your version.
Think about it:
Charging tanks with sabres is a feat of incredible bravery, even if in the end not successful
Fighting as normal infantry is just losing the war
I prefer the first version, its at least very gallant.

Beautiful army and that music.Good job :)

@embran Because this Goebbels propaganda was repeated by communists after war.

Btw. Goebbels, thou in hell, is probably proud of himself; after 60 years people still believe in his unbelievable work of propaganda

Lances not pikes,and in 1939 lances were out of use, they had only rifles, bofors guns, and sabres.
