counteroffensive
The Battle of the Bzura (or the Battle of Kutno) was the largest[3] battle of the 1939 German invasion of Poland, fought between 9 and 19 September[4] 1939, between Polish and German forces. It began as a Polish counter-offensive, but the Germans outflanked the Polish forces and took all of western Poland.
