Notes | The 7TP JW was a gun version of the 7TP series and was the best Polish tank available in 1939. It had a single turret and armed with a 37mm gun, which was a version of the Bofors anti-tank gun which was the standard anti-tank gun at the time. Like the “DW” version the “JW” was issued to two light tank battalions and two independent light tank companies. |
