Introduction
|
|
The Polish 55th Reserve Infantry Division had not completed its mobilization when it rushed into the OWS Fortified Zone protecting the industrial center of Katowice. One battalion of the 203rd Infantry Regiment occupied a forward position on what the Germans called Hill 341, a pile of industrial waste known to the local Poles as Halda Skalny. The hill offered a wide unobstructed view of the German approach routes.

|
Conclusion
|
|
Nothing grew in the environmentally-devastated area around the Slag Heap, giving the Germans little cover as they approached the Polish fortifications. The Polish National Guardsmen held out throughout the day, inflicting heavy casualties on the attacking Germans - a first-line division of the First Mobilization Wave - which eventually abandoned the attack and looked to outflank the hilltop.

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