An in-depth study of foreign medium tank designs considered by the Polish Army during the late 1930s and their influence on Polish armoured warfare planning.
Foreign Medium Tanks for the Polish Army
Issued as part of the Great Encyclopedia of Armaments – September 1939 (Wielki Leksykon Uzbrojenia – Wrzesień 1939) series, this volume examines the concept of the medium tank and the search for a modern armoured vehicle suitable for the needs of the Polish Army before World War II.
The book discusses the evolution of tank doctrine during the interwar period, when military planners sought a balance between mobility, firepower and armour protection. Particular attention is devoted to foreign designs that attracted Polish interest, including French medium tanks such as the Somua S35 and Renault projects, as well as contemporary debates on the future role of armoured forces.
The publication also explores Polish plans for acquiring or producing medium tanks, the industrial challenges involved, and changing military theories regarding tank classification and battlefield employment. Richly illustrated with archival photographs, technical data and period documents, this volume offers valuable insight into one of the most ambitious but unrealized areas of Polish armoured development.
