The only complete Vickers E in Poland is in the Armoured Weapons Museum in Poznań. In the Home Army Museum in Kraków there is a partially reconstructed example with several original parts.
I hope TE would provide more videos and articles about the Vickers 6-Ton tank and its Soviet T-26 and Polish 7TP variants. The Vickers 6-Ton was a pretty influential tank design during the Interwar years and as a starting post-WW1 tank design for countries' new tank arms.
Vickers E were also used by Finns during Winter War. Later on surviving tanks were often fitted with turrets and replacement parts from captured Soviet T-26 and flame throwing versions of it.
If only there was more than 200 of them... But no, let's meander around for new tanks before we even acquire at least decent amount of armoured units of at least okay tanks.
We initially had the money. But it was really badly mismanaged and thrown at any new project en mas. Especially the Christie tanks @@guameldestruir6239
Those are C7P artillery tractors, based on 7TP tank design (of course, lacking the armor). Used to tow heavy artillery pieces, or - in tank units - as a recovery vehicle for 7TP and Vickers E tanks.
I've always liked the single turret Mark E. Great allround performance in a relatively cheap and easily maintained design. But lets forget the twin turret version, the idea was stupid for such a small and cramped tank. In my opinion the Mark E is one of the most important designs of the interwar era. I can't help but wonder how things would have turned out if the British went for the Mark E instead of the Vickers Light.
"First to fight" is a reference to the Polish propaganda poster: propagandopolis.com/products/poland-first-to-fight-polish-world-war-two-poster "Interwar Imports" is just what the tanks were.
The video looks great! Thank you so much for having me as a guest narrator! It was great working with y'all!

We would love to!
However, it might take a while for the articles to be written first.
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT❤ Thank you so much for replying!

Also the bolivian army used them during the Chaco war 1932-1934,paraguayan troops captured one and in recent years gave it back.now is a monument
I've heard that twin turret idea came from the Great War experience, they could simultaneously fire along the tranches while passing thru them.
7tp was a viable tank for sure

@@cybernetic_crocodile8462 and where was poland going to get the money for this?

Gotta love the Vickers Mk. E
I would buy one of these irl if I had the money
Would you consider doing more poland tank videos? I am curious about them now :D
I'm pretty sure , that both the Vickers , and Panzer I , in Chinese service , went into combat against the Japanese , before 1939 .
Yes, both did see service with China against Japan, as well as some small numbers of Soviet T-26s (essentially Soviet variants of the Vickers tanks).
Indeed. If you want to learn more, we already have a video on the Chinese Vickers tanks:

PT91M pls
Good video. There appears to be a problem with the displayed conversion of metric to inches at around 8:00 and later.
Need to get the Slide Rule out, 13mm is half an inch. 1.5 inch is 37.5mm
Yeah. Even I know a 13mm wrench is basically the same as a 1/2" wrench.
Do you think you guys could do a video on the IS3 and how it performed in the 6 day war?
10:28 Are those artillery tractors?
Yes, C7Ps.
I like this narrator voice
7:05 That's not a mortar fitted at the back of the tank, is it?
No, actually that was an experimental trench crossing equipment tested on the Vickers tank.

Is the title a reference to the polish model brand?
"First to fight" is a reference to the Polish propaganda poster:
propagandopolis.com/products/poland-first-to-fight-polish-world-war-two-poster
"Interwar Imports" is just what the tanks were.
Since when does 13mm = 1.51 inches? 1.51 inches would be impressive as heck in a 6 ton............. That would be what? 38mm?
13mm is 0.5 inch
Yup, that "1" in "1.51" is a typo. Metric measurements are the accurate ones.
@@TanksEncyclopediaYTmy bet is the accurate measurement would have been stated in 1/2" which was what the builders of the tanks used in the plans.😊
Goofy ah polish dank
In my opinion the video is amazing, but he is speaking way to fast.
