Weapon Data Presented Elsewhere

Pz.Kpfw.35(t) and Pz.Bef.Wg.35(t). The Pz.Kpfw.35(t) was a Czechoslovakian tank taken over after the German annexation of Czechoslovakia. The Pz.Bef.Wg.35(t) was a later German modification of this tank. These tanks served in front line units until late 1941, when they were relegated to second line duties such as policing or anti-partisan operations. Many turrets were later used in fixed fortifications on the Danish coast and in Corsica.
