_____________7TP single turret*
*
Number in Service: 110*
*
*
The design of this tank was developed in Poland*
from the English Vickers E licence, with many*
improvements such as better armor and Diesel engine.*
*
The final single-turret version was armed with a 37mm*
wz.37 Bofors L/45 gun and 7.92mm wz.30 TMG.*
This version was in production in 1938-1939.*
Only 110 of single-turret tanks were built.*
*
7TP tanks were used in combat in the 1st and the 2nd*
Light Tank Battalions. Last 11, built in September*
1939, fought in improvised Warsaw Defence HQ Company.*
*
Thanks to its Bofors gun, the 7TP was a match for any*
German or Soviet tank of 1939, however its armour*
was too vulnerable.*
