A detailed study of the Fordon bridgehead and the strategic Vistula crossing that played an important role in Polish defensive operations during the September Campaign of 1939.
Fordon Bridgehead and Vistula Crossing 1939
Issued as part of the Great Encyclopedia of Armaments – September 1939 (Wielki Leksykon Uzbrojenia – Wrzesień 1939) series, this volume examines the Fordon bridgehead and the bridge crossing over the Vistula River, one of the strategically important positions in northern Poland during the opening stages of World War II.
Located near Bydgoszcz, the Fordon crossing formed part of the defensive system protecting access to the eastern bank of the Vistula. During the September Campaign of 1939, control of bridges and river crossings was of great military importance, influencing troop movements, withdrawals and defensive operations.
The publication presents the history, military significance and wartime role of the Fordon bridgehead, supported by archival photographs, maps and historical documentation. It offers valuable insight into one of the lesser-known defensive positions associated with the Polish Army's struggle during the German invasion of Poland.
