Polish 12th Kresy Infantry Division, was a tactical unit of the Polish Army in the interbellum period, which was stationed in Tarnopol. In June 1939 the Division, under General Gustaw Paszkiewicz, was ordered to remain in reserve, and became part of the southern wing of the Prusy Army. In early September 1939, it was transported from Tarnopol to the area of Kielce. On September 7, 12th I.D. left its positions by Skar ysko-Kamienna and headed towards I a. There, it engaged in combat with 3rd Light Division of the Wehrmacht. In the following days, the unit fought a bloody battle with German XV Light Corps of General Hermann Hoth. On September 9, Polish soldiers managed to get to German positions, but were stopped by tanks. As a result, the Poles panicked, the Division was cut off from the line of the Vistula and as such ceased to exist. Its remnants managed to cross the river and were recreated as brigades, taking part in the Battle of Tomasz w Lubelski, where they capitulated on September 27.
