In Popular Culture
Battle of Wizna is the theme of one of the songs on the The Art of War album by the Swedish Metal band Sabaton, entitled "40:1", for an estimated ratio of forces on both sides of battle (in fact, with 42,200 Germans and 720 Poles, it is 58:1). However the title along with the lyrics of the song makes it clear that it compares the Polish forces with that of the legendary 300 spartan warriors at the battle of Thermopylae.
