Description
When Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in 1938, they took over its armament industry and stock of modern light tanks. They also brought the CKD (Praga) factory under their control. CKD produced the TNH-P light tank. The Germans ordered a variant with a fourth crew member which became the Panzer 38(t). The Panzer 38(t) is armed with a 3.7cm gun like the  Panzer III, combining punch and manoeuvrability. Two of Germany's Panzer divisions, the 7th and 8th, field the excellent Panzer 38(t) tank for the campaign in France in 1940.

Like, the Panzer III, the Panzer 38(t) is armed with a 3.7cm cannon, and has good armour for a tank of its size. The Panzer 38(t) tank's good mobility and speed came in part from its leaf-spring suspension with four large wheels, differentiating it from the other Czech tank in German service, the Panzer 35(t) with its Vickers 6-ton tank style boogies.

During the Battle of France, 106 Panzer 35(t) light tanks fought in 6. Panzerdivision (the old 1. Leichte Division) while 99 Panzer 38(t) were used by 7. Panzerdivision (the old 2. Leichte Division) and another 131 by 8. Panzerdivision (the old 3. Leichte Division).

After its performance in France, the Panzer 38(t) was recognised as one of the most reliable tanks of its day, making it popular with its crews during campaigns where tanks travelled long distances under their own power.
