''Smok Kaszubski'' (meaning Kashubian dragon) was an improvised Polish armoured train, which served in the Polish defenses during the German invasion in 1939. The train was part of the ''Lądowa Obrona Wybrzeża'' ("land coastal defence"). The train was built in September 1939, at the initiative of ''Kapitan marynarki'' Jerzy Błeszyński, by employees of the workshop of the naval port in Gdynia. For the construction of the steel plates, steel from the hulls of unfinished destroyers ''Orkan'' and ''Huragan'' was used. The first commander of the train was ''Kapitan'' Błeszyński. After his injury on 9 September 1939 in Wejherowo, command of the train was taken over by ''Porucznik marynarki'' Florian Hubicki. The operating personnel of the train was mostly formed by the Gdynian railways workers and sailors from the former company servicing the port. Composition of the train: - 1 × tank locomotive OKl27 armoured with steel plates - 2 × armoured wagons for troops - 2 × battle wagons Armament: - 1 × Vickers 40mm AA gun, taken from ORP ''Mazur'' - 1 × 47 mm gun for saluting, taken from ORP ''Bałtyk'' - 11 × machine guns - 30 × pistols from ORP ''Wicher'' == See also == *List of armoured trains 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smok Kaszubski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
