Re: The myth of Polish cavalry charging tanks sartek Send a noteboard - 06/04/2011 10:22:35 AM
This is a very short article, but I thought it was interesting. It corrects the idea that Polish cavalry charged Nazi tanks.


There is tons of myths like these around. "300 spartans, a bunch of rebels with AK-47 won the Vietnam war, Germany had better tanks than France and Britain, Russia gave one guy the rifle and another the bullets." etc, etc..

greetings from armchair general ;)

Many people don't appreciate what Germany has suffered at the hands of Poland. Joel - 06/04/2011 03:00:56 PM 667 Views

"A decisive role"? What is Ben Macintyre smoking? And there's something wrong with the picture. Tom - 06/04/2011 03:01:00 PM 768 Views
He makes a fair point snoopcester - 06/04/2011 03:46:14 PM 566 Views

Churchill saying "we won the war" is already a fantasy world. Tom - 07/04/2011 03:35:14 PM 625 Views
You think the allies lost? Erm... okay.... snoopcester - 07/04/2011 04:41:49 PM 675 Views
I didn't say the Allies lost. I said the UK didn't really "win". Tom - 07/04/2011 05:31:10 PM 552 Views
You said Churchill was living in a fantasy land for saying we won, I believe? snoopcester - 08/04/2011 10:56:51 AM 688 Views

They may have had better luck against the tanks random thoughts - 07/04/2011 03:38:40 AM 548 Views
Actually, no. The PzKpfw I didn't have a cannon, but rather a machine gun on the turret. Tom - 07/04/2011 04:58:20 AM 525 Views
