       @heycitizen @CSB "The name Winged Hussars comes from their uniform, as they began carrying wings – a wooden frame carrying large feathers, coming from swans or eagles. The legend says they became wearing them because they made a loud noise that made it look like there were more of them than they actually were, or to shield the man behind them from enemy arrows."

       @heycitizen @CSB "Although Polish Hussars ceased to exist, an interesting event took place the evening of September 1, in 1939, when German went on to attack Poland and thus started World War II. It is said that, in the village of Krojanty in the Pomeranian region, Polish cavalry charged German tanks. Germans fired machine guns at the soldiers and made the Poles retreat. This attack successfully delayed the Germans long enough for the Polish troops to withdraw to safely."

       @CSB Detractors would say the wings defended them from friendly fire and the Germans did use the incident in propaganda to paint the Poles as  primitive.While it's a lesson to not bring a knife to a gunfight, the point is often missed that it was an act of deliberate sacrifice to save the rest of the army.
