Panzer 38(t)

Originally designed in Czechoslovakia as the LT vz. 38, this light tank became widely known as the Panzer 38(t) after Germany occupied the country in 1938. The “t” stands for “tschechisch,” the German word for “Czech.” Well-regarded by its crews for its mechanical reliability, ease of repair, and agility, over 1,400 units were produced and saw combat in Poland, France, and on the Eastern Front.
