Default Re: Armoured Car Tactics

Marek is right. The story of polish cavalry charging german armor with lances is a myth. Never happened. But it makes for a good story so it keeps getting repeated including by people (and historians) who should know better.

@Marek
Wasn't there another incident near the end of the war in Poland where a polish cavalry force, or part of it, had to move through a german armored formation that was blocking their escape route to Rumania?
