Default RE: What Tank is This?

Don, Germany used a lot of captured stuff in the early 1940s to support the Pz I and IIs. Skoda had a very favorable reputation in the late 30s, especially with the 37mm main gun and the Wehrmacht used a lot of the 35 and 38Ts. After the Poland campaign when sufficient Pz IIIs were available, these very light skinned tanks were relegated mainly to support of occupation and guard ("Wache") units. It would be an interesting tank to build up from a Pz III chassis, but the suspension system would be a real chore.
