Polish 39th Infantry Division
- Polish 39th Infantry Division
Polish 39th Infantry Division was a reserve unit of the Polish Army, which took part in the Polish September Campaign. Commanded by General Brunon Olbrycht, it was part of the Prusy Army and was concentrated in the area of the Holy Cross Mountains.
The Division was completed on September 10, 1939 and it was ordered to defend the Vistula river line between the towns of Dęblin and Kazimierz Dolny. Due to General Olbrycht's sickness, it was "de facto" commanded by Colonel Bronislaw Duch. On September 14, the 39th, which had became part of the Lublin Army, withdrew towards Chełm. Five days later, it engaged the Wehrmacht in Krasnystaw, then fought the German 4th Light Division near Zamość. The Division took part in the Battle of Tomaszów Lubelski and capitulated on September 26, 1939.
