On 1 September 1939 the Wolynian Cavalry confronted the German 4th Panzer Division outside Mokra. The Germans managed to break through the Polish defences, but the Blitzkrieg was still at its infancy, and early Panzer divisions lacked the infantry necessary to properly overcome a prepared defence.[2]
