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..

Many people don't appreciate what Germany has suffered at the hands of Poland.

"A decisive role"? What is Ben Macintyre smoking? And there's something wrong with the picture.

Churchill saying "we won the war" is already a fantasy world.

You think the allies lost? Erm... okay....

I didn't say the Allies lost. I said the UK didn't really "win".

You said Churchill was living in a fantasy land for saying we won, I believe?

Actually, no. The PzKpfw I didn't have a cannon, but rather a machine gun on the turret.

My 8th grade history teacher was Polish and she embellished the myth.
