INTRODUCTION
Introduction & Purpose
The Poland Historical AFV Register is intended to provide a cataloging of all of the historical
Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFV), including tanks, APCs and self-propelled artillery, etc that
are on preserved or otherwise displayed in museums or as monuments in Poland. As such the
registry ranges from the pre-World War II era tanks to modern T-72 tanks. However, the
registry is not intended to include any modern AFVs that are still in service.
Format
The Poland Historical AFV Register is organized by Voivodeship and city or town as follows.
VOIVODESHIP
CITY OR TOWN
AFV Model Man./User status Notes and/or location
The numbers in parentheses are department numbers or city postal codes respectively.
Man./User donotes the original manufacturer (country) and various users, using three letter
country codes.
Status is denoted by one of the following codes.
ind = indoor display
out = outdoor display
std = stored (this can be either indoor our outdoor storage, but clearly not on display)
wre = wreck (typically vehicles on or recovered from a target range, or simply in very bad
condition)
dep = departed
Additional information about a particular vehicle is often included in footnotes.
Often, if there are a large number of AFVs on display in a particular town or military post,
sublistings are also provided, organized by location - museum, building, road, etc.
