GENERAL
The first edition of this small Polish wagon (TK1) was delivered in 1929 and simple upgrades led via TK2 and TK3 to the improved model bTKS in 1933. The wagons were intended and were used as support wagons for the infantry. Some were equipped with a 20mm cannon as tank destroyer carriages. A total of 390 TKS was delivered. In addition, an unarmored version was also delivered which was used as a tractor
The Germans used these wagons as small supply wagons, for training and object defense, for example of airfields. Few survived the war, but some of both the armored and unarmored versions still exist today
IN NORWEGIAN USE
This type of wagon came to Norway either in 1941 or 1942. It is uncertain which departments used them, but there were some of these wagons here in 1945. These were used as personnel vehicles and tractors by the Germans. After the war, they were used for farm work and in the forest. There are still some of these in Norway today
