1939...

Hm, even the one from the first world war looks more lethal. I guess the
germans did not exactly have any difficulties with that particular type of
polish armour?

Its not the same type of armoured car, i guss its not polish car. But you have right, germans have no any problems to damaged those cars.Well, its not BMP 1. But we have some good armoured vahicles, like 7TP for example(10 tons weight, swedish 37mm cannon Bofors), it was very good tank. Unfortunettly we have not to many of them :( If we have more we could stoped germans panzer divisions ;)

Yes - you are right. That car is a replica of wz.34 armoured car. Armed with 7,92 mm Hotchkiss wz. 25 machine gun (there were also cars with 37 mm Puteaux S.A. 1918 gun). Armour of this car was 6-8 mm. Bottom unarmoured (wooden). Engine between 995 ccm (20 and 24 horsepower) to 1477 ccm (20 horsepower). Weight 2100-2200 kilograms. About 100 of that cars were made. These armoured cars were conversions of wz. 28 armoured cars which were made on chassis of Citroen-Kegresse P.10.
It wasn`t good car - badly armoured and weak armed, also with too low power and bad off-road characteristic but polish soldiers made their`s best to defend our country. Even if thay had to fight using that kind of junk.
