Introduction
|
|
In October 1938, Poland took advantage of Czech distress to annex the small region known as Teschen, sending in 40,000 troops and Poland’s only tank battalion to occupy the city and countryside. That force had dwindled to one reinforced battalion by the time of the German invasion, undertaken in this area by two divisions formed from units of the former Austrian Federal Army.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
The Austrian 45th Infantry Division had been mustered from two divisions of the Austrian Federal Amy a year earlier, and still carried organizational traces of this origin such as horsed cavalry instead of a mechanized recon battalion. The German advanced with overwhelming force and reached the Olza River, where the Polish defense held. In the afternoon the Poles blew up the bridge and retreated, abandoning Teschen Silesia.

The morale and combat modifiers of German Sergeant #1614 should be "0", not "8".
