Why Btonze Age?

[Pat Mustard]

Hey, Polish cavalry attacked the German in 1939.

It was ineffective.

But in WWI you still had that old Imperial age bullshit going on.  It took trench warfare to stomp that out of humanity.

The idea that Polish cavalry was ineffective was largely a myth created by Nazi propoganda. For one thing cavalry never charged tanks, that wasn't their job (they carried anti-tank rifles but those guns were too big and powerful to be fired from anything other than a stationary position), and as the link shows most of their work was either to break up infantry formations in delaying actions or counterattacks, or to ensure capture of routing enemies.

Like the rest of the Polish armed forces in 1939, they performed as well as could be expected given the circumstances.
