History The Pz.Kpfw.38(t) was originally designed as the LT vz.38 for the Czech Army, but after the German annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1939, it was absorbed into the Wehrmacht as a front-line light tank. Its reliability, speed and firepower made it ideal for early Blitzkrieg campaigns in Poland and France. The Ausf. E/F versions introduced thicker armour to increase survivability on the battlefield. By 1942, the 38(t) was becoming obsolete as a tank but its excellent chassis ensured its continued use as the foundation for vehicles like the Marder III and Hetzer throughout the war.
