As much ribbing as the Poles get, they are among the finest people.
I've had admiration for them after I heard that they attacked the Nazi tanks and armor with cavalry. They knew they weren't going to win, but sometimes you just have to do the right thing whatever the cost.

Poles never attacked German tanks with cavalry, this is only myth created by nazi propaganda cause they wanted to discredit Poland as good ally of western countries. This sensational news were started by Italian press, we all know what side they represented then. In fact many peoples still thinks that that was true, you see how effective can be good propaganda machine. I also recommend to you “God’s playground: A History of Poland ”, book of the most famous British historian who is specialist in Poland theme and Eastern Europe at all.

Btw Poland had tanks, planes etc but Germans had more and better.

Some examples from the internet, from rather serious international sources.

But polish troops in fact fought even if they knew that they don’t have any chances, after Warsaw failed, main example of their bravery is defending of Westerplatte:
