Historical background and purpose

The Pz.Kpfw 38(t) Ausf. E/F (Panzerkampfwagen 38(t)) is a German light tank that was originally a product of Czechoslovak engineering. After the annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1939, the Third Reich took over the production of this vehicle, which was later used in many military campaigns. The tanks in Ausf. E and F versions were produced between 1940 and 1941 and participated in battles on the Western Front during the French campaign, as well as on the Eastern Front during the invasion of the USSR. Their advantages included great technical reliability, maneuverability, and ease of operation, making them an important component of German armored forces in the early stages of World War II.
