The actions carried out by the “Poznań” Army and the “Pomorze” Army have shown that despite the numerical and technological advantage of the enemy, the Polish soldiers are capable of conducting offensive operations mainly towards Stryków and Łowicz. The involving of the German 8th and 10th Armies in combat also allowed for a longer defense of the besieged Warsaw.

Since 1945, the Battle of Cedynia has been an important element of the narrative of Poland’s connection with the so-called Regained Territories.
