About this ebook
This title offers a detailed study of a successful but little-known German tank of World War II, the Panzer 38(t). Germany's annexation of Czech provinces in 1938 gave it control of the large Czech armament industry, one of the jewels of which was the very modern LT 38 tank. The type was fully integrated into the Wehrmacht as the Panzer 38(t), becoming one of the few foreign designs to continue in production for the Wehrmacht. It was an important element in the 1940 battle of France, and its most famous use was in the hands of Rommel's 7.Panzer Division. The Panzer 38(t) became one of the key weapons in the German invasion of Russia in the summer of 1941, and was widely used in the Eastern Front campaigns of 1941–42. This illustrated study gives a uniquely detailed account of the technical history and combat record of one of the most successful early World War II tanks.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5By this point in time Steve Zaloga can probably do these booklets in his sleep, but he does such as efficient job of it that you almost need nothing more than what is provided. On the color image front, I particularly appreciate that vehicles of the Post-Munich Slovak military were chosen as subjects.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everything was well done - the part about Bulgaria is incorrect - Bulgaria received in 1943 >100 brand new 109 G-6s, as well as apr. 100 Pz IV with L43 and L48 guns, but also Stug III and IVs, Jagdpanzer IV and some additional technology; Later on Bulgaria received even a small number of Panthers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5awesome, took me about an hour to get through, found it very interesting, very well written, I am glad I learned a thing or two about panzer 38(t)
