"Marsz Pierwszej Dywizji Pancernej" (Song of the 1st Polish Division in English) is a Polish song associated with the 1st Polish Armored Division. The song itself was most probably written by Stanisław Kowalski in 1945 or even later, after the Second World War in commemoration of the fallen soldiers. The melody is composed by R. Rygiel.
The Polish 1st Armoured Division (1 Dywizja Pancerna) was an armoured division of the Polish Armed Forces in the West during World War II. Created in February 1942 at Duns in Scotland, it was commanded by Major General Stanisław Maczek and at its peak numbered approximately 18,000 soldiers. The division served in the final phases of the Battle of Normandy in August 1944 during Operation Totalize and the Battle of Chambois and then continued to fight throughout the campaign in Northern Europe, mainly as part of the First Canadian Army.
