History and use of the Pz.Kpfw. 38(t)

The Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) is a Czechoslovak light tank, originally developed as the LT vz. 38 by ČKD factories in Prague. After the annexation of Czechoslovakia by the Third Reich, the vehicle was taken over and widely used by the Wehrmacht under the name Panzerkampfwagen 38(t). The Ausführung E and F versions were produced in 1940–1941, distinguished by improved armor. This tank played a significant role during the campaigns in Poland (1939), France (1940), and in the Balkans, and later on the Eastern Front, where it fought until 1942. Thanks to its durability and reliability, the Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) chassis also served as the base for Marder self-propelled guns and Hetzer tank destroyers.
