Notes | The Wzór.34 was based on a halftrack chassis, the chassis chosen was from the Wzór.28 halftrack which was found to be lacking in speed and was unreliable in the field. The tracks were replaced with wheels which made a vast improvement in terms of speed. Wz.34 came in three versions each with minor differences and came in two variants, with one being armed with a Hotchkiss 37mm gun and some armed with a single machine gun. The Wz.34 was the standard armoured car used by the Polish army prior to the war and were issued to armoured car squadrons. |
