Historical background of the TKS

The TKS is a Polish light tankette from the interwar period and the early years of World War II, widely used mainly by the Polish Army. It was developed based on the earlier TK-3 model, being a significantly improved version. TKS tankettes played an important role during the September Campaign of 1939. Their small size enabled them to perform reconnaissance, support infantry, and undertake offensive operations in difficult terrain. Although their armament and armor were modest, these vehicles made their mark on history through several daring actions—for example, the destruction of German armored vehicles by Sgt. Romuald Brzezinski near Pociecha.
