Did Polish Cavalry Really Charge German Tanks?

Did it happen this way?

With the 70th anniversary of the *official* start of World War II a week away, HistoryNet has blown the doors off one of the most popular myths to come out of the war. I’ve read in multiple textbooks, that Polish Cavalry (that’s right, people on horses) valiantly rode headlong into a division of German tanks. Be it a celebration of heroism, the tragedy of blind heroism, or racism, the myth continues to live on, despite efforts to combat it. Share this story with others, and prevent the spread of disinformation.

*Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, and launched a full-scale war against China in 1937. Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935. Some scholars maintain that one of those earlier dates be recognized as the start of World War II.
