World War II - Invasion of Poland'39 & field kitchens

 Salvete Omnes, 




it is September already - times flies or tempus fugit. The most tragic anniversary in the Polish and world history - the day one of World War II.


 
Germany(Third Reich) & Slovakia invaded Polish 2nd Republic early in the morning of September 1st - committing atrocities like the bombing of Wielun on day one (during World War I, August 22, 1914  the Germans bombed the city of Kalisz).



The invaders and defenders, their armies, used hundred of thousands of horses, mostly for the draft work.






Providing food, especially hot food, for the soldiers was one of the most important logistic challenges they faced. Regimental field kitchens provided the most desired and needed hot meals. Teams of horses pulled this field kitchens.
