Polish tanks

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

In 1939 the Polish Army had more tanks than most people beleive today. The most modern in active service was the 7TP jw M/1938 with a 37 mm Bofors gun (see picture).

The Poles had 95 of those and they were more than a match for the Germans - if they had been operating togeter and not distributed on the Infantry in small batches.

But now my question. Several years ago I read that the Poles were introducing a new tank with 75 mm gun. Torun?

Anybody that knows of such a vehicle?

Could it be Toldi or Turan?
The Toldi was the Hungarian light tank, based on the Swedish Landsverk L60B tank.
The Turan was also a Hungarian tank. A prototype with a long barrelled 75 mm gun was ready when the Germans occupied Hungary. It was to be called the Turan 3.
