LOL, That’s really cool.

Unfortunately, they just happen to be all DEAD!

Please let me know about all those “historians” who have “debunked” that so called “myth.”

BTW, I AM an historian, I’ll not bother you with my accolades because that would be construed as “high handed.”

But it includes post graduate degrees from NYU, GSAS ‘84.

Let the pissing contest continue.

There is plenty of information on the Internet about this myth, or as someone pointed out lie. It was debunked a long long time ago. With your high degrees, you can find it yourself, I’m sure. There is simply no historical evidence that such cavalry charges occurred, only propagandistic reports of the Germans from September 1939. No photographs, no witnesses. And, after WWII, the Soviet puppets in Poland produced at least one dramatic film showing such charges, shots from which ought to be somewhere on the Internet, and which you can use as “proof”.

I’m surprised there are still people who believe war propaganda from 70 years ago.

A couple of recent books on the Polish campaign at the start of WWII and might answer some of the questions raised in this thread:

• No Greater Ally: The Untold Story of Poland's Forces in World War II by Kenneth Kolodian (New York: Osprey, 2009)

• Hitler Strikes Poland: Blitzkrieg, Ideology and Atrocity (Lawrence, Kan.: University Press of Kansas, 2003)
