Historical Background:
While Polish Army was near to succumb to the German "Blitzkrieg", the Red Army entered in Eastern Poland on the 17th of September 1939, breaking through the weak defenses of the Polish border. On the 20th of September, the vanguard of 15th Russian Armored Corps reached the suburbs of Grodno. On the 21st, tanks of 27th Armored Brigade crossed the Neman river by the bridges and attacked the city. Polish defenders were a mix of volunteers, policemen and boys scouts but they resisted with heroism. The first Russian assault was repelled and the tanks without infantry support were burnt with molotov cocktails. Some Polish squadrons of the Wokowysk Cavalry Brigade went to reinforce the defenders of the city. After two days of intense street fighting, the Polish defenders had to abandon the city under the heavy fire of Russian artillery by crossing the Lithuanian border to escape to the Russian forces.
