Notes | The 35(t) was the main tank issued to Czechoslovakian tank companies. The Czech army named them Lehký Tank Vzor.35 and had over 400 in service in 1939. After the military annexation of Czechoslovakia, the LT.Vz.35 was taken into German service. Many faults were found which were eventually fixed by virtually re-building the tank. Its main armament was the Skoda 37mm A3 gun which the Germans named 37mm KwK 35(t). The Panzer 35(t) (the T standing for tschechisch meaning Czechoslovakia), was used in the same way as the Pz Mk. III, initially equipped Light Divisions it saw action in Poland, France and Russia. |
