Infantrymen, an armored vehicle and mounted Wehrmacht troops move forward together in an attack across open terrain, with artillery visible in action in the background. This combination of arms - infantry, tanks, cavalry and artillery - defined German attack tactics during the invasion of Poland, which began on 1 September 1939. Despite the use of modern armored units, the Wehrmacht still relied on mounted troops, mainly for reconnaissance and rapid advances. The Pomeranian region was among the first targets, as it formed the so-called Polish Corridor to East Prussia.
