Historical Background

The German light tanks Pz.Kpfw 35(t) and 38(t) were based on Czechoslovak designs and entered Wehrmacht service following the annexation of Czechoslovakia. Intensively used from the beginning of World War II (1939–1945), they took part in campaigns in Poland, France, the Balkans, and on the Eastern Front. They were renowned for the reliability and effectiveness of their machine guns. The ZB37, a Czech-made machine gun, was the standard armament of both these tank models. Their armored mantlet (mantlet with weapon) was a key component responsible for the protection and combat effectiveness of the vehicles.
