History:
Formerly the 19th "Kalisz" Tank Division, little is known of their wartime history. In 1998 it was pulled from the line and saw most of its remaining manpower transferred to other units as replacements. It was then later refitted as a cavalry unit, though a shortage of horses means in practice that it continues to be light infantry formation. For the last 18 months the 19th has been tasked with protecting the USSR/Polish Baltic Front Headquarters. They saw only minor action against the US 11th Corps during the summer offensive and did not participate in later operations against Gdansk.
Currently, the Polish 19th Cavalry Division guards Malbork, and is solely responsible for the surrounding countryside. They have an unofficial truce with the Gdansk allied community of Sobieszewo Island.
