24th Infantry Division (Poland)

Attached to the Karpaty Army, on September 6 it was engaged in heavy fighting with advancing 4th Light Division of the Wehrmacht.

In the evening of that day, General Kazimierz Fabrycy ordered the Division to withdraw towards the Wisłoka and defend the main west–east route from Kraków to Lwów.

The Germans managed to break Polish positions in the evening of September 12, therefore southern wing of defence of Przemyśl was opened.

Two days later, General Kazimierz Sosnkowski, who commanded Polish troops in the area, ordered all units to break to Lwów.

On September 18, when news of Soviet attack on eastern Poland reached General Sosnkowski, he decided to change plans.
