Historical background: Artillery in the Second Polish Republic was one of the three main branches of the military, alongside infantry and cavalry. In 1939, artillery constituted a significant part of the armed forces, with 2,589 officers, 4,974 professional and reserve non-commissioned officers, and 53,320 privates. It was the second largest formation after infantry, highlighting its importance in the military structure of that period.

The motorized artillery, whose representatives can be recreated with this model, was part of the modern armed forces that utilized motor traction to increase mobility and effectiveness in combat operations. The motorized artillery included motorized guns, which allowed for rapid movement and adaptation to the dynamically changing conditions on the battlefield.

Organization and equipment: The motorized artillery included various types of guns, including 75 mm cannons and 100 mm howitzers. Motorized brigades were equipped with 4 howitzers of 100 mm and 4 guns of 75 mm, while the motorized artillery regiment had 8 guns of 75 mm, 4 howitzers of 100 mm, and 8 cannons of 120 mm. This type of armament allowed for effective indirect fire, which was crucial in both defensive and offensive operations.

The significance of artillery in the Second Polish Republic: Artillery was not only an essential element of the armed forces but also a symbol of modernity and technological progress in the military. In 1939, in the face of the impending conflict, Poland sought to modernize its armed forces, and motorized artillery was one of the key elements of this modernization.
