Notes: The PzKw I was a light-armored and lightly-armed tank built to the armor concepts of the '30s. It served in Spain, Poland, France '40, Denmark, Africa, Norway, and Russia. The B model was, by far, the most common, with 1,500 produced between 1935 and 1939. However, by the time the Soviet Union was invaded in 1941, only 74 were still in service.
