They didn't. It's a lie.

>The first and perhaps best known happened on September 1, 1939, during the Battle of Krojanty. During this action, elements of the 18th Pomeranian Uhlan Regiment met a large group of German infantry resting in the woods near the village of Krojanty. Colonel Mastalerz decided to take the enemy by surprise and immediately ordered a cavalry charge, a tactic the Polish cavalry rarely used as their main weapon. The charge was successful and the German infantry unit was dispersed.

>The same day, German war correspondents were brought to the battlefield together with two journalists from Italy. They were shown the battlefield, the corpses of Polish cavalrymen and their horses, alongside German tanks that had arrived at the field of battle only after the engagement. One of the Italian correspondents sent home an article,[5] in which he described the bravery and heroism of Polish soldiers, who charged German tanks with their sabres and lances. Other possible source of the myth is a quote from Heinz Guderian's memoirs, in which he asserted that the Pomeranian Brigade had charged on German tanks with swords and lances.[6] Although such a charge did not happen and there were no tanks used during the combat, the myth was disseminated by German propaganda during the war with a staged Polish cavalry charge shown in their 1941 reel called "Geschwader Lützow".[1]

>On 21 September 2009, The Guardian was forced to publish an admission that his article "repeated a myth of the second world war, fostered by Nazi propagandists, when it said that Polish lancers turned their horses to face Hitler's panzers. There is no evidence that this occurred."[7]

Propaganda often had no idea what they were doing with tanks or how they looked outside of turret, treads and gun.

>>1845953
Germans had more cavalry in their army than Poland.

>>1846104

Bullshit

>>1846207
they are not german tankettes either
they are imaginary tanks
just like a cavalry charge with melee weapons against tanks is an imaginary artistic concept

>>1846221
Are you fucking retarded?

Because the Poles were planning to attack Berlin and cavalry work well when your lines of supplies get too long.
Hitler managed to foresee their attack though and answered with tanks.
