The last significant units of the Polish army surrender near Luck. Many Poles have escaped and will gradually find their way to the west.
Although tank units have played a notable part in the campaign, it is interesting to note that the contemporary German official appreciations lay more stress on the traditional-style infantry battles. The tank forces are seen at this stage, except by enthusiasts like Guderian, as little more than useful auxiliaries who can help the infantry do the real work. The first plans for the attack in the west will reflect the official attitude.
The German 10th Army is transferred to the Western Front.
