Does anyone have any information on a battle/skirmish in Brezany on September 19, 1939. Red Cross papers show my Polish father captured there and supposedly captured by Soviets. I once saw reference to a minor fighting there on the internet but lost it, I would love more information.

Thanks

I couldn't find anything specifically relating to any fighting or a battle, but this article gives a little background information, and it mentions that the Soviet army entered Berezhany on September 21st 1939.
