Battle of Chojnice 1939: WWII’s First Day and Poland’s Brave Stand

Witness the opening shots of World War II with ShortFactWizard’s detailed recount of the Battle of Chojnice on September 1, 1939, in Poland’s Pomeranian Corridor—a war that would claim 70 million lives. At 4:30 a.m., Stuka dive bombers from 3/1 Stuka Geschwader struck the Tczew bridge, but Polish sappers demolished it, thwarting German armored cars. In Chojnice, Colonel Kazimierz Majewski’s 3,000 defenders repelled the German 20th Motorized Division’s Panzerzug No. 3, derailing it with artillery fire, until forced to retreat by 2:00 p.m., per The Second World War. The 18th Pomeranian Uhlans’ cavalry charge at Krojanty, led by Commander Kazimierz Mastalerz, delayed the Germans, though 80 Uhlans fell, per Wikipedia. Did you know the Luftwaffe’s 4,000 aircraft dwarfed Poland’s 400 planes? Or that 10,000 visit Tuchola Forest memorials yearly? WWII scholars will value the strategic stakes—delaying Heinz Guderian’s XIX Panzer Corps—while war buffs will feel the Uhlans’ charge. YouTube fans will see 1939’s dawn, with smoke over Chojnice. Packed with facts—like 850 German vehicles and the Virtuti Militari award—this video brings Poland’s defiance alive. Subscribe to ShortFactWizard for more—Tuchola Forest awaits!
