Maybe, but it was a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants behavior.
Or, more appropriately, fly-from-your-poor-dead-horse
behavior.
I have seen photos of Polish Cav assaulting German Panzers only
to be left slaughtered. Sheer madness. Sheer stupidity. Someone
somewhere along the chain of command should have realized the
futility.
And the Polish Cav on the ground were no more effective against
the Germans than they were when mounted.
An interesting question arose when viewing those
pics of PolCav vs GerArmor. What exactly were they going to
do w/ their sabres once they got to the tank?

Mounted charges against an infantry unit equipped w/ several
then-modern machine guns was still madness. Again, it boils down
to
SHOOT THE G**%$#@ HORSES.
That’s why Poland fell in a matter of days. Was not the German advance
thru Poland the record for territory covered in a single day
prior to the US run to Baghdad in 2003?
BLITZKRIEG!

Despite of the propaganda pictures of mechanized units, many (if not most) units in WW2 on the German, Polish and Russian side relied on horsepower. We don´t see many pics from horses in WW2, because it wasn´t favourable to show “old-fashioned” horses. My Grandpa had three horses during the war, he was a engineer in the first line of the eastern front, preparing/checking the roads and brigdes for the use of tanks. All of his horses saved his life - two times by taking the bullets/grenades for him, and one time by providing horsemeat (that was on the retreat). Horrible times.
By the way, your coming Prime Minister really seems to be a good guy we can work with. And congratulations for the highest participation rate in free Polish elections ever! That expresses a lot about the stability of the Polish democracy.
We will build a center about expulsion, and it would be better if Poland worked with us on it, so that the expulsions in Europe (East Poland included!) can be documented.
