Pomeranian Cavalry Brigade

On September 1, 1939, parts of the 18th Regiment of Pomeranian Uhlans made the legendary charge at Krojanty, during which unit's commandant, Colonel Kazimierz Mastalerz was killed.

[1] On September 2, the brigade was ordered to attack the town of Koronowo, which was defended by the German 3rd Armored Division of General Leo Geyr von Schweppenburg.

This move was necessary, as it would help the withdrawing 9th Infantry Division, which had been engaged in bitter fighting.

The remaining forces managed to withdraw from the Tuchola Forest and on September 5, became part of the Operational Group of General Juliusz Drapella.

After a few days, these units, together with Podolska Cavalry Brigade, took part in the Battle of Bzura.
