Notes | The LT Vz.34 (Lehký Tank Vzor 34) was a light tank designed by the Czech firm ČKD. It mounted a 37mm gun in a fully revolving turret plus two machine guns. It was thinly armoured, which was a cause for concern as this only gave protection against small arms and shell splinters. They were supposed to be concentrated in a single armoured regiment but this was cut short by the German annexation. |
