The area around Wołomin, north-east of Warsaw, was the site of a great tank battle in the summer of 1944, part of Operation Bagration, as the Soviet Army attempted to reach Warsaw. There is now a memorial there ‘In honour of the heroic soldiers of 2 Guards Tank Army and of the Polish Underground who on 30 July – 6 August 1944 fought in the Wołomin area against the Nazis’. (Source: Wołomin 1944).

This T-34 is of Polish manufacture. It is displayed on a small stone plinth. A decade ago it was displayed with white painted tyres but otherwise in very poor condition. In 2007/8 it was repainted. It has a Polish-style stowage box fitted to the rear of the turret, and a snorkel stowed along the left side of the hull.
