| Notes | The T-38 was a Czech built light tank which had initially saw service in the German army. The Germans passed fifty of these vehicles over to the Romanians and they were formed into a single tank battalion and placed under the command of the 2nd tank regiment. Their numbers were thinned because of heavy fighting during the retreat from southern Russia and those that did make it back to Romania, were used to defend the capital and other major installations. |
