Battle of Chojnice during the 1939 German invasion of Poland occurred on the first day of the hostilities, September 1. A detached unit of the Polish army, Chojnice Detached Group under col. Tadeusz Majewski, part of the Czersk Operational Group under Stanisław Grzmot-Skotnicki, was tasked with defending the city of Chojnice, a major regional communications center, to protect the southern flank of Army Pomorze. The Polish forces managed to repulse German attacks until 1600-1700 hours, when they received order to fall back towards Rytel (further continued on the night of September 1 and 2).
