Notes | The Panzer 38(t) Ausf E and F had extra armour added to turret and hull which doubled the frontal armour from 25mm to 50mm, this was adaptation was initiated after tank losses which accured during the Polish campaign. Other minor details included new visors and work done on the Coaxial MG. They were issued to units serving in Russia and the Balkans |
