| Notes: The PzKw 38(t) was a Czech design that was robust, reliable, and well advanced for its time and class. It acted as a stopgap vehicle until late 41 and as a emergency reconnaissance vehicle in 1944. About 1,400 of the various types were produced. The 38(t)A served in most early theatres except Africa. |
