On the 17th of September 1939 Red Army crossed eastern border of Poland. Units of Polish Army received an order to evacuate to the neutral country of Hungary. According to popular sentence: Poles and Hungarians are two brothers to fight and drink together, tired Polish soldiers and civilians following them were welcomed with a lot of friendship.
Of course according to international law Polish forces had to be disarmed and become internees. This is a point to see some nice stuff that arrived with 10th Motorized Cavalry Brigade
Tankettes: TK-3 with machinegun and TKS-20mm armed with automatic cannon.
4 of 75mm wz. 36 antiaircraft guns. L/50, muzzle velocity 800m/s for standard AA shell, 950 m/s for light AA shell. Only one is existing today in
Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps
in Petersburg as a war trophy:
Most of Hungarian state officials considered that Poles can run away to France to join there Polish Army, just not all at once This is a different story though.
