- Battle of Chojnice (1939)
Battle of Chojnice during the 1939 German invasion of Poland occurred on the first day of the hostilities, September 1. A detached unit of the Polish army, "Chojnice Detached Group" under col. Tadeusz Majewski, part of the "Czersk Operational Group" under Stanisław Grzmot-Skotnicki, was tasked with defending the city of Chojnice, a major regional communications center, to protect the southern flank of Army Pomorze. The Polish forces managed to repulse German attacks until 1600-1700 hours, when they received order to fall back towards Rytel (further continued on the night of September 1 and 2).
