"Poland had only few armoured trains, but their oficers and soldiers were fighting well. Again and again they were emerging from a cover in thick forrests, disturbing German lines" | |
| from the history of Wehrmacht: "Wie das Gesetz es befehl" | |
This page is devoted to very little-known topic of the Polish armoured trains.
As we were starting in 1999, there were very few publications on the Polish trains, mostly old and partial or too general, so we had to reconstruct the trains' data and service from partial information, often contradictory. Our work was often pioneering. The situation improved somehow in the last years, they became more popular subject and new facts and photographs were revealed, but still there are no reliable publications to cover all the subject of the Polish trains, especially from a technical point of view. Therefore, the information on these pages may not be most correct sometimes - this is only a hobby project, maintained in my free time, without research of source documents. I am still looking for the new photos and information so that I can improve the pages. Due to a lack of time, updates are not frequent recently, but the pages will be updated according to newest state of knowledge in the future, so be sure to check the newest versions (see what's new).
If you have any corrections or additional sources, especially photos - write!
