The twin turret Mark A was armed with two 7.92mm Hotchkiss wz.25 and in late 1930s rearmed with 7.92mm Browning wz.30 machine guns. 16 Model A and 22 B were delived in 19, while the rest remained as payment for the licence or were delivered as spare parts. Two types Mark A and Mark B were purchased along with the licence. 6ton Mark E was not accepted by the British Army but Vickers sold it along with a licence (in some cases) to Bolivia, Bulgaria, China, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Japan, Portugal, Romania, Russia (T-26 series) and Thailand (Siam). In 1928, British Vickers-Armstrong designed the 6ton Tank Mark E and of which in 1931, Poland purchased 50 examples. The problem was that Poland had only a bit more than 100 such tanks. Only 7TP was a modern light tank which was an equal opponent to all types of german tanks. Second: Polish army had no tanks, only obsolete rifles, horses and saber's.Īctually Polish army had tanks. Next day Germans showned it to journalists claiming that Poles attacked tanks on horses. Suddenly some german tanks arrived and polish cavalry retreated leaving 20 or 30 dead soldiers on the field. Polish squadron of cavarly succesfully charged against german infantry and trucks creating havoc and forcing germans to retreat. This myth was created early on the begining of war by the german and italian journalists. Affcourse Poland was doomed anyway but i would like to clear few things for those who still belive in WW 2 myths.įirst: Polish cavalry was charging on horses against german tanks. They exists since 1939 and so many people all over the world still belives in them. There are many myths about polish campaign 1939.
