That urban legend about cavalry vs. tanks probably came from Andrzej Wajda's movie "Lotna". There was a scene with cavalry charging tanks, but it was meant to be a metaphor, pure artistic vision (to be honest, most of Polish cinematography experts has no clue what the hell it was and sincerely hates that film) and had absolutely nothing to do with historical facts.
If you had read any history book or at least google you wouldn't compromise with statements that cavalry (there were no any cavalry with lances for God's sake!) was "Polish finest soldiers" during WWII, or that "Poland was overrun in no time flat".
