The Škoda and ČKD companies of Czecchoslovakia produced this light cavalry tank in limited numbers (434) from 1936 to 1940. Its designation under Czechoslovak service was Lehký tank vzor 35 (Light Tank Model 35). From March 1938, Germany was the primary user of this tank, notably during the first years of World War II--the invasions of Poland, France, and the Soviet Union. The Wehrmach retired the type in 1942, after a period of heavy use during which spare parts were no longer available; panzer units equipped with the 35(t) were forced to cannibalize parts in an increasingly futile attempt to keep a dwindling number of units combat-ready. Other Axis nations also used the tank, including Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. The tank's fully-rotating turret housed its main gun, a short-barreled Škoda A7 37 mm (L/40) ÚV vz. 34 (German designation KwK 34(t)), as well as one coaxial 7.93 mm machine gun; another 7.93 mm machine gun was mounted in the hull. It carried a crew of four at a top speed of 21 mph.
