Wizna
09/10/1939.
The Battle of Wizna was fought between September 7 and September 10, 1939, between the forces of Poland and Germany during the 
initial stages of Invasion of Poland. According to Polish historian Leszek Moczulski, between 350 and 720 Poles defended a 
fortified line for three days against more than 40,000 Germans. Although defeat was inevitable, the Polish defence stalled the 
attacking forces for three days and postponed the encirclement of Independent Operational Group Narew fighting nearby. 
Eventually the tanks broke through the Polish line and German engineers eliminated all the bunkers one by one. The last bunker 
surrendered around midday on September 10.
Because the battle consisted of a small force holding a piece of fortified territory against a vastly larger invasion for three 
days at great cost before being annihilated, Wizna is sometimes referred to as Polish Thermopylae in Polish culture. One of the 
symbols of the battle is Captain Wladyslaw Raginis, the commanding officer of the Polish force, who swore to hold his position 
as long as he was alive. When the last two bunkers under his command ran out of ammunition, he ordered his men to surrender 
their arms and committed suicide by throwing himself on a live grenade.
