Poznań Army

Army Poznań (Polish: Armia Poznań), led by Major General Tadeusz Kutrzeba, was one of the Polish Armies during the Invasion of Poland in 1939.

Flanked by Armia Pomorze to the north and Łódź Army to the south, the Army was to provide flanking operations in Grand Poland region, defend it and withdraw towards lines of defence along the Warta river.

The Poznań Army itself was not heavily engaged during those early days but was forced to retreat due to danger of being flanked.

Later the Poznań Army strengthened by the remains of the Pomorze Army took part in the Polish counteroffensive Battle of Bzura; finally remaining units withdrew towards Warsaw and took part in its defense.

The Army was commanded by gen. Tadeusz Kutrzeba; its chief of staff was colonel Stanisław Lityński.
