In the
Battle of Krojanty Polish cavalry acted as horse mounted infantry. Elements of 18th Uhlans Regiment successfully attacked a German infantry battalion, but were then counterattacked by German armored unit.
- "Contrary to German and Italian propaganda, Polish cavalry brigades never charged tanks with their sabres or lances as they were equipped with anti-tank weapons such as 37mm Bofors wz.36 (model 1936) anti-tank guns (that could penetrate 26mm armor at 600m at 30 degrees). The cavalry brigades were in the process of being reorganized into motorized brigades." [1] (http://www.achtungpanzer.com/polcamp.htm)
