The Tanks of World War II - Episode 13: Panzer 38 (t)

[@scipioafricanus4328]

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.

[@Boric78]

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.

Again some orginal pictures I had not seen before - enjoy this series.

Nice, really enjoying this series. Thanks for all the work and sharing it. 👍

[@smiles826]

I wonder when we will get to the Jagdmaus and Jagdcromwell.

[@paulfrantizek102]

For its era, Panzer 38t had many of the same attributes as the Sherman: Reliability, range, mobility, decent armament.

At 0:57 "the Praga-built LT vz 35 light tank?" Don't you mean the Skoda-built one?

[@andrewcoley6029]

Fantastic, thank you so much for all of the research and information. Great series of videos, enjoyed everyone.

[@1joshjosh1]

Nice documentary. 👍. (edit)now that I'm 70% through it I would say brilliant documentary. Some of these pictures I've never seen before.

[@davidhulkower7779]

great series thanks for your hardwork

[@guidor.4161]

Excellent as always! What are the vehicles seen in the background at 14:25 in the top right pic?

[@thetanksofworldwarii-tanka4368]

I believe those are Hungarian 40M Nimrod AA tanks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40M_Nimr%C3%B3d

[@bencejuhasz6459]

Indeed they are 40M Nimród AA/AT vehicles with some 38/42M Toldi light tanks farther back.

[@guidor.4161]

@@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...

[@bencejuhasz6459]

@@guidor.4161 It was probably taken in Esztergomtábor, 1942.

[@guidor.4161]

@@bencejuhasz6459 You are very well informed. "Recent" Hungarian history is not so well known in general, unfortunately.

[@PBAR_B1B]

Are those all die-cast tanks on your shelf or models you built? Was thinking of starting to collect die-cast tanks...

[@thetanksofworldwarii-tanka4368]

Mostly pre-buillt diecast or plastic, although some are ones I built myself.

[@PBAR_B1B]

@@thetanksofworldwarii-tanka4368 Any recommended vendors?

[@TheSaturnV]

I've seen so many tank rundowns on KZbin but you have an excellent presentation talent that brings a new interest to the subjects.

[@Ralphieboy]

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.

[@M.M.83-U]

Wonderfull, lots of details.

[@jackray1337]

Great video.

[@patrickwentz8413]

You mean German over engineering.

[@pandastical9205]

First

[@Pyrochemik007]

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.

[@xaverer4102]

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+).

[@Tconcept]

Great video, thanks
