Panzer 35(t) (Early/Mid)

The Panzer 35(t) served as the main battle tank for the Czech Army during the year preceding the German annexation in March 1939. Despite its reputation for unreliability, the stocks of Panzer 35(t) were readily absorbed into the German Army.

Once in German hands it was rebuilt and proved itself as a more than adequate design with more than sufficient armour and firepower for the period. However, its design included too many complex features; mostly notably, the pneumatically operated gear box. This proved very troublesome during the Russia winter of 1941.

The Panzer 35(t) saw action during the Polish campaign and the invasion of France in 1940. It continued to serve in Russia until late winter 1941 by which time most of the vehicles had been lost.
