NotesThe TC Vz.33 (Tančík Vzor 33) was a light tankette designed by the Czech firm ČKD. It had a crew of two and was armed with two machine guns which were located in the hull front. One of the machine guns was ball mounted and fired the commander and the second was fixed and was fired by the driver. They were issued to independent platoons and used in conjunction with other units to guard the Czech border.
