This page is a supplement to the armoured car wz.34 and the wz.34 gallery pages. It contains further pictures of these vehicles.
One of the first armoured cars wz.34 (rebuilt in the 3rd Tank Battalion workshops), used for training in Training Center in Modlin. Evident is the old hull with two windows. Note an old weapon mounting. On the left - tankette TK (TK-3).

Armoured cars wz.34 on a parade before Michael the King of Romania in 1937. Most likely the vehicles in the background have older hulls. Note the bar chains on the rear fenders - they were supposed to be worn on rear wheels in sand or snow. [Photo - source 1]. |
