On September 1st 1939, at 0500, the German Tenth Army of the Army Group South crossed the Polish border and initiated the invasion of Poland. German 31st Infantry Division, as well as 1st and 4th Panzer Divisions crossed the border in the operational sector of the Polish Volhynian cavalry brigade. After breaking through small detachments of the Border Guard and National Defense, the German units seized the towns of Krzepice and Starokrzepice, right in front of the main Polish positions.
4th Panzer Divisions under Generalmajor Reinhardt was one of the first to cross the border with Poland in the area of operations of the Army Group South. Immediately after entering the Polish territory the division was stopped by the Polish Volhynian Cavalry Brigade under Col. Julian Filipowicz and engaged in heavy fighting of the battle of Mokra. The German tanks proved to be inadequately armored and the Poles inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans and repulsed most of their units, which lost roughly 160 armored fighting vehicles in the battle (between 70 and 100 of them being tanks), mostly to Polish-made Bofors 37 mm anti-tank artillery and Kb ppanc wz.35 anti-tank rifles.
