  • 22nd Mountain Infantry Division (Poland)
rdfs:comment
  • Along with 11th Infantry and 21st Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 22nd was notable for its distinctive uniforms, based on folk attire of the Górale (Polish highlanders) rather than standard uniforms of the Polish Army. During the Polish Defensive War, the division was attached to the Prusy Army. Overrun by the Germans, the Regiments fought separately in the ranks of other units.
