Under Missconceptions - Combat between Polish cavalry and German tanks, it says "German 20th Infantry Division of Heinz Guderian's XIX Army". Guderian was in Command of XIX Corps, not XIX Army. That army did not exist (Armies were not numbered with roman literals), and was not one of the 5 armies participating in the invasion of Poland (3rd, 4th, 8th, 10th, 14th). It is listed correctly as the XIX Corps under Order of Battle - German in the Battle of Tuchola Forest page. 2003:DC:7F4A:9900:C597:5B18:FF63:E108 (talk) 12:56, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should Free City of Danzig be included in the infobox

[edit]

Hi, I'm wondering, if the Free City of Danzig should be added to the infobox as agressors, since they collaborated with the nazis, and took part in the fighting for example in the Defence of the Polish Post Office in Danzig. Artemis Andromeda (talk) 12:51, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There was RfC for this a while back. The consensus was no. Betelgeuse X (talk) 13:51, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jabłonków incident

[edit]

The passage: "However, there was one exception: during the night of 25–26 August, a German sabotage group, which had not received orders to suspend action, attacked the Jablunkov Pass and Mosty railway station in Silesia." Really should be cross-linked to the page for the Jabłonków incident (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jab%C5%82onk%C3%B3w_incident). I would have done that myself, but the page appears to be read-only. ~2026-10819-91 (talk) 00:24, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
