Description: On September 6, 1939 the German Infantry Regiment 1 was placed under command of the 12 Infanterie Division for the push that was meant to carry the Germans across the Narew river.*
*
The Polish defenders had furioulsy fended off earlier attacks and the city was partly on fire when the II/Inf.Rgt 1 commanded by Major von Proeck managed to break into the town and in fighting house to house begin to root out the defenders. Crossing the destroyed river bridge proved impossible but late in the evening parts of the battalion managed cross the Narew river in dinghies and establish a toehold on the far bank.*
