Description
 
The Polish army that fought for its homeland in 1939 conjures up tragic images of
infantry and dashing, but ineffective and ultimately doomed cavalry
charges. In actuality the Poles, in the midst of a large-scale
re-armament program, had up to 600 armored vehicles available at the
time of the German attack, as well as a number of newer and better
designs in various stages of development. Facing the inventors of the
'Lightning War', who attacked in great numbers, on multiple fronts and
with total mastery of the air, the Polish armored formations were up
against it. But outdated equipment, doctrine and enormous odds did not
stop these units from fighting with bravery and determination before
being finally overwhelmed. This volume is a complete technical study of
the machines that formed the backbone of Poland's defenses on the
ground, using never-before-seen photographs and a comprehensive design
and developmental history that reveal a full picture of Poland's armored
forces in the context of their greatest challenge.
