Wisloka on Sep 8 1939.

[Domen123]

Of course this is NOT Oberstlt. Dipl. Ing. Herbert Baumgart, Kommandeur of II./PanzerRegiment 3, KIA on the same day/night in Biskupice Radłowskie about 40 km W of Radomyśl.

Franz Joseph Strauss - who participated in the battle of Biskupice Radłowskie - in his book "Friedens und kriegserlebnisse einer generation" writes:

"Poles with contempt of death defend the bridgehead Biskupice - Radlow. Their AT guns are hitting our tanks from the closest distance. Their soldiers are throwing hand grenades into openings of our tanks and are even jumping into our tanks with bunches of grenades in their hands."
