		Another interesting aspect of the battle was of course that as a counter-offensive, it was one of the few major battles that involved a Polish attack against German forces.
		Many historians since World War II have questioned whether the Battle of Bzura River should have happened at all, whether it was a fatal romantic gamble that needlessly wasted forces that could have been used to prolong resistance later, or more effectively organize the underground resistance when defeat did come.
		The Battle of Bzura took place against the background of a Polish assumption (confirmed through repeated French promises) that France was about to launch a major invasion of Germany.

		Several fascinating aspects of the war emerge for further consideration, such as the fact that in the Battle of Bzura, the Poles caught the Wehrmacht with its pants down, with the Germans badly over-extended.
		The capability of the Polish forces to hold their own against their foe was demonstrated with the initial attack, in which the Poles slammed two German divisions backwards into retreat, capturing over 1,500 prisoners in the process.
		In particular, the defense conducted by a Polish Cavalry brigade at Mokra against the 4th Panzer Division on 1 September demonstrates that the initial German use of armored units in combat could be clumsy and costly at times.
