Historical background and vehicle usage

The Panzerbefehlswagen 35(t) is a specialized version of the Czechoslovak LT vz. 35 tank, which was taken over by the Germans after the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939. The command version (Befehlswagen) stood out thanks to its advanced communication equipment and modified turret construction, which allowed for more convenient radio operation. These tanks played an important role at the beginning of the war, with their use recorded during the Polish campaign in 1939 and in France in 1940, serving mainly in the panzer divisions of the Wehrmacht. They remained functional until 1942, although over time they were gradually withdrawn from the front line.
