Battle of Schoenfeld

The Battle of Schoenfeld (Polish: Szarża pod Borujskiem) took place on March 1, 1945 during World War II and was the scene of the last mounted charge in the history of the Polish cavalry and the last confirmed successful cavalry charge of World War Two. The Polish charge overran German defensive positions and forced a German retreat from the village of Schoenfeld (today known as Żeńsko, formerly known in Polish as Borujsko). Today, a plaque mounted on a stone near the edge of Żeńsko commemorates the cavalry charge.
