Did Polish cavalry really fight German tanks with sabers and long guns during World War II?
Most people who know something about World War II have heard a joke that when the Germans launched a "blitzkrieg" against Poland, the Polish cavalry, who did not know what the tank was, bravely brandished their swords and long guns and launched a flood of charges against the German armored troops, only to be lost under the tracks of the tanks.

As a result, "saber shooting tanks" has become an eternal laughingstock in the history of World War II.
