When the German army invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939, they were eager to take action to control the Skoda plant-a workshop responsible for the production of weapons and equipment, which was producing LT vz.35 and 38 tanks. Later, the name of LT vz.35 that served in Germany was changed to Panzerkampfwagen 35(t), and it was mainly used in Poland and France. The car is equipped with a 3.72 cm Skoda artillery and two 7.92 mm machine guns. The tank weighs 10.5 tons and is powered by a 4-cylinder Skoda gasoline engine that can output 110 horsepower (higher power). When walking on the road, the speed can be as high as 34 km/h, and the cruising range can be up to 120 km. The surface armor is 25 mm thick, because of this it is usually arranged to replace the shortage of the German III medium tank. The Panzerbefelswagen 35(t) command type is a command tank with additional radio equipment. Its main feature is a square frame antenna on the engine compartment cover at the rear of the vehicle body. About 244 Pz. 35t tanks were used by the Germans, but only 20 were converted to command tanks.
