Scipio Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 The press release says that CM:BB has Polish units, too, but also that the time frame starts with Barbarossa - I wasn't aware that the Polish Army had any battles on the East Front after 1939 - what have I missed??

Jagdwyrm Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I thought maybe they had included Fall Weiss as well. But was told that the Polish would be late war Soviet-equipped troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grisha Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 There were quite a few Polish units within the Red Army, including two whole Armies. If you want a more comprehensive OOB, I can post that later (after work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Grisha should be correct. The Red Army contained two Polish all-arms Armies (1st, and 2nd Polish Army). The first was first used in the Magnuszew Bridgehead across the Vistula in 1944 as part of 1st Byelorussian Front, and the 2nd in the Berlin Operation as part of Koniev's 1st Ukrainian Front. Skipper posted an AAR about the Magnuszew fighting here that he translated. Do a search if you are interested, it is well worth reading. Hope I got that right, working from memory here. It is quite probable that smaller Polish formations (Rifle Corps and Rifle Division size) were fighting earlier than the two armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
