Molotov cocktails enabled the fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto to hold out longer against the Germans than the Polish Army held out when it originally defended Warsaw from invasion.

The Polish Army extinguished itself in a useless gesture of 19th century bravado. Hussars and lancers charging tanks is romantic but foolish.

Put the same tanks in narrow alleys, leave horses out of it, try to stay alive long enough to kill the enemy, and things are different.
