Video - The Battle of Mokra: Blitzkrieg vs. Cavalry

September 1st, 1939: The sleepy village of Mokra becomes an unlikely stage for a decisive clash. German Panzers, the spearhead of the Blitzkrieg, meet their match in an unexpected foe - the Wołyńska Cavalry Brigade. Colonel Filipowicz's tactical genius shines. His men, entrenched along a railway embankment, transform the landscape into a deadly chessboard. German tanks, funneled into killing zones, fall prey to well-placed anti-tank guns. The day sees a brutal ebb and flow. German breakthroughs are met with fierce counterattacks. The armored train "Śmiały" emerges as an unlikely hero, its timely interventions turning the tide repeatedly. By dusk, the seemingly unstoppable Panzer Division retreats, leaving behind a graveyard of steel. Mokra stands as a testament to the power of preparation, position, and sheer determination.
