One of my favourite tanks. I’m really enjoying these episodes on early war tanks of the blitzkrieg era that are not as well covered as the later tigers and panthers.
Was just about to comment the same - really interesting and very important models. Usually almost over looked by "sexier stuff" like Panthers, TD's & the Tigers. However these probably had more of an effect on actual battles and real history.
I always liked this little tank, it just looks cool. And I always wondered if there was some connection between the round hatch at the back like the one on a T-34. Both products of Russian designers.
@@bencejuhasz6459 I thought they might be Toldi (Landsverk) based...many thanks! This then would make the picture from Barbarossa in 1941 or later, i assume...
Is it possible T 38 inspired russian T34? I heard the Škoda company provided know how about cannons (straight to Stalin) so it is not a big stretch if the reliability was taken from ČKD.
I do not think so. The T-34 is a totally redesigned BT-5. Soviet tank with Christie's travel. The T-34 has an engine and transmission at the rear that drives the rear axle compared to the LT38. And Russia's interest in the Škoda canons was mainly in large caliber (205+).

Again some orginal pictures I had not seen before - enjoy this series.
I've seen so many tank rundowns on RUclips but you have an excellent presentation talent that brings a new interest to the subjects.
Nice, really enjoying this series. Thanks for all the work and sharing it. 👍
Wonderfull, lots of details.
great series thanks for your hardwork
Fantastic, thank you so much for all of the research and information. Great series of videos, enjoyed everyone.
Nice documentary.
👍.
(edit)now that I'm 70% through it I would say brilliant documentary.
Some of these pictures I've never seen before.
Great video.
For its era, Panzer 38t had many of the same attributes as the Sherman: Reliability, range, mobility, decent armament.
Great video, thanks
I wonder when we will get to the Jagdmaus and Jagdcromwell.

Excellent as always! What are the vehicles seen in the background at 14:25 in the top right pic?
I believe those are Hungarian 40M Nimrod AA tanks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40M_Nimr%C3%B3d
Indeed they are 40M Nimród AA/AT vehicles with some 38/42M Toldi light tanks farther back.

@@guidor.4161 It was probably taken in Esztergomtábor, 1942.
@@bencejuhasz6459 You are very well informed. "Recent" Hungarian history is not so well known in general, unfortunately.
At 0:57 "the Praga-built LT vz 35 light tank?" Don't you mean the Skoda-built one?
Are those all die-cast tanks on your shelf or models you built? Was thinking of starting to collect die-cast tanks...
Mostly pre-buillt diecast or plastic, although some are ones I built myself.
@@thetanksofworldwarii-tanka4368 Any recommended vendors?

First
You mean German over engineering.
