You know I had to look up żniwiarz

When you read of the Black Brigade's battles and its two weeks of fighting some of the top units in the wehrmacht and coming out on top consistently, looking at the TOE is quite a shock. No doubt the TKS's played a major role. In many ways I prefer the TKS to the Vickers, mostly because I'm not as tempted to think of the TKS as a tank, more a light tank destroyer/mobile machinegun nest.

Thanks for the report from the front
