DescriptionA series of 100 was issued in 1989 -1990, about the most important actions in WW II. The stamp shows a fight between Polish cavalry on horses and German cavalry with thanks. Historians think that, in reality, such a fight never took place. There was an encounter just by coincidence, which afterwards got a legendary impact.
