  • Panzer 38(t)
rdfs:comment
  • When the Race arrived in mid 1942, the Panzer 38(t) was still being used in the German Army and was pressed into service against the Race because it was still a tank that could fight. As 1943 began, the 38(t) was phased out from the front lines.
  • The Panzer 38(t) was generally considered superior to the Panzer 35(t), despite the similar history of the two types. Originally developed for the export market by CKD, the 38(t) was reliable, hard wearing and easy to maintain, resulting in it being chosen by the Czech Army as a successor for the 35(t). Produced by both Skoda and CKD, the 38(t) entered Czech service in 1938. One example was photographed while in German service at Dunkirk on 20 May 1940.

abstract
  • The Panzer 38(t) was generally considered superior to the Panzer 35(t), despite the similar history of the two types. Originally developed for the export market by CKD, the 38(t) was reliable, hard wearing and easy to maintain, resulting in it being chosen by the Czech Army as a successor for the 35(t). Produced by both Skoda and CKD, the 38(t) entered Czech service in 1938. Following the German invasion, the Germans soon realised the value of the 38(t) and pressed it into service, while further improving the tank's performance by removing some of the ammunition. This modification made room for a loader, thus freeing the commander from the responsibility of loading the main gun. One example was photographed while in German service at Dunkirk on 20 May 1940. After the 38(t) was withdrawn from active service in 1942, the chassis was used as the basis of both the Marder and Hertzer tank destroyers, with examples of the latter remaining in service with the Swiss Army long after the war.
  • When the Race arrived in mid 1942, the Panzer 38(t) was still being used in the German Army and was pressed into service against the Race because it was still a tank that could fight. As 1943 began, the 38(t) was phased out from the front lines.
