Is it true that Polish cavalry charged German tanks with lances and sabers during the 1939 invasion of Poland?

No. A Wikipedia article on the charge at Krojanty states outright that the Polish cavalry charge against German tanks with sabres and lances did not happen and that no tanks were used in that combat; a peer-reviewed article likewise calls the image a false propaganda depiction.
