9.9.39 polish 1b attalion from 74 infrantry regiment succesfully ambushed germans.
German knights first knightly burned local villages ,murdering about 20 persons,including 10-year old Zofia Wrzichal.

Then they made polish unit surrender,declared them as partsants and knightly murdered.

So much for knightly Wermacht.German soldiers from 15 mechanized regiment did it and many other crimes,killing at least 250 prisoners that day.
Dude who lead them get Iron Cross.True german hero.
