CENTRAL POLAND:  For two days the Poles desperately tried to hold a line in the vicinity of the Warta and Widawka Rivers but were gradually pushed back. However, the stubborn resistance of the crack Polish 10th Division was threatening to throw the German invaders severely off their time schedule and might enable the Pozan Army to escape almost certain encirclement. Determined to break through, the Germans brought up heavy reinforcements including the elite SS Liebstandarte Regiment and attacked once again.*
*
AFTERMATH: The battered remnants of the Polish 10th Division extracted a heavy toll from the attackers, but equipment-wise they were no match for the Germans. Although a total breakthrough was prevented, by September 7th little hope remained and a forced retreat with the gallant survivors was started towards the Vistula.*
