Introduction |
---|
Polish military intelligence provided a steady flow of detailed information on German intentions. The Poles knew they would be facing concentrated armored formations, and had a pretty good idea of what these units could achieve. To continue their advance, the Germans would have to capture crossings over the river Brda suitable for tanks; one such lay near the village of Pruscz. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Poles stalled the German advance long enough to set the heavy railroad bridge over the Brda on fire. Not for the last time, the Germans noted how the Polish anti-tank gunners fought with suicidal determination. The staff of Panzer Regiment 5 decided that they had done enough for the day and stopped to rest by the burning remnants of the bridge, bringing their enraged corps commander to the scene. |

#9 Tuchola Forest |

The Germans made good use of their mobile forces to clear the north road and get into the rear of the Polish forces while capturing the bridge from behind while the rest of the German infantry made a frontal attack along the south road pinning the Polish forces to their front so they could not reinforce the bridge. The German combined arms with air and OBA support were no match for the under strength Polish defenders. |
