Baltic coast 4–10 September Northern Front Southern Front Battle of Borowa Góra (Polish: Bitwa pod Borową Górą) refers to the series of battles from 2 to 5 September 1939 that took place near the Góry Borowskie hills, south west from Piotrków Trybunalski and east of Bełchatów.
The battle, fought between the Wehrmacht and the Polish Army in the vicinity of Łódź, was a direct consequence of the Battle of the Border, an early part of the German Invasion of Poland[1] The three hills (278 meters above sea level) formed an important strategic point that the German XVI Army Corps needed to break through in order to advance toward Radomsko, Piotrków Trybunalski and Bełchatów, and further into central Poland.
[2] General Wiktor Thommée, who commanded Piotrków Operational Group of Łódź Army, ordered Colonel Czyżewski to defend a 25-kilometer line in the area of Rozprza.
In the evening of September 3, leading units of the German 1st Panzer Division captured Rozprza, to be pushed back after some time.
They were pushed back, but near Rozprza, where Panzer divisions were present, Polish defenders faced more danger.
