Lemberg, Poland 1939-09-12 (5 others)

Overview:

The city of Lemberg was reached with little resistance whereupon the fighting soon bogged down in urban combat. The Germans received word of three enemy formations heading straight for their sector. Determined to halt the flow of enemy reinforcements, the 1st Gebirgsdivision organized several company-sized battle-groups and sent them on wide flanking maneuevers to hold likely enemy approaches. But the Poles were after these same farms, hamlets and crossroads. The 2nd Jäger Company, having made the furthest advance of the day, found itself pinned down by enemy small-arms fire and called for armored car support.
