Under Fire - Mokra (en Inglés) - Benandonner Publishing Original

Smoke rolls through the forests. Tanks burn beside the railway line. Horses charge through artillery fire as Poland fights for survival on the first day of the Second World War.

Under Fire - Mokra is a brutal and immersive collection of twelve interconnected stories set during the Battle of Mokra on 1 September 1939, where the Polish Volhynian Cavalry Brigade stunned the advancing German war machine with fierce resistance, hidden anti-tank guns, daring cavalry attacks, and stubborn determination.

Through the eyes of tank commanders, cavalry troopers, infantrymen, Stuka pilots, artillery crews, signal officers, and exhausted defenders trapped inside the chaos of modern warfare, the battle unfolds hour by hour in smoke-filled forests and shattered railway cuttings.

German Panzers push relentlessly eastward through burning woods. Polish anti-tank crews wait silently beneath camouflage for the perfect shot. Armoured trains thunder along the rails while cavalry units strike exposed infantry through drifting smoke and confusion. Every road becomes a battlefield. Every forest hides death.

But Mokra is more than a clash of armies.

It is the moment when the myth of unstoppable mechanised war collides with men willing to stand and fight against impossible odds.

Written in a gritty, cinematic style inspired by classic war comics and battlefield epics, Under Fire - Mokra delivers action, tension, tragedy, and human drama across one of the most overlooked battles of the early war.
