History of the Ba-20ZhD

The Ba-20ZhD is a unique version of the Soviet Ba-20 armored car, adapted to run on railroad tracks (hence the "ZhD" addition from the Russian "zheleznodorozhny" – railway). Developed in the USSR before World War II and used mainly between 1938 and 1944, it served during the Soviet campaign in Poland (1939), the Winter War, and in the early years of World War II, especially in the territories of the former USSR, both for protecting rail lines and transporting soldiers and reconnaissance. The vehicle featured a simple design, effective protection against small arms, and the ability to quickly convert between road and rail modes.
