The German-Polish boarder was 120km north of Warsaw. In 1939 the Polish Modlin Army led by Krukowicz-Przedrzymirski was the main defense guarding the Polish boarders from the north. It was made to stop enemy armies from entering Warsaw the Modlin fortress. The defenses were upgraded with field fortifications and concert bunkers shortly before the war began.

| - The German-Polish boarder was 120km north of Warsaw. In 1939 the Polish Modlin Army led by Krukowicz-Przedrzymirski was the main defense guarding the Polish boarders from the north. It was made to stop enemy armies from entering Warsaw the Modlin fortress. The defenses were upgraded with field fortifications and concert bunkers shortly before the war began. The main line of defence, was between the Narew and Vistula rivers, where a number of 19th century fortifications lay. However the plains north of here were almost defenseless. To help in case of war, the Modlin Army would be sent to the boarder with East Prussia and would defend that line before falling back to defend the line of the Narew and Vistula Rivers. The 20th Infantry division was assigned to the Modlin Army and were sent to Mlawa, along with large amounts of concert and other defense supplies. Trenches and concrete bunkers, protected from enamys by anti-tank trenches and obstacles, was to be constructed along a low glacial hill overlooking the valley of the Mławka river, to the north. In the center, a swampy terrain of the Niemyje Marshes was located, which was virtually impossible to pass by enemy armored vehicles. This swamp divided the area into two separate flanks. The western section was to be reinforced with 68 concrete bunkers. The eastern, much shorter, with 25 bunkers..
