The Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), originally known as the ČKD LT vz. 38, was a tank designed during the 1930s that saw extensive service during World War II. Developed in Czechoslovakia by ČKD, the type was adopted by Nazi Germany following the annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1938. With the German Army and other Axis forces, the type saw service in the invasions of Poland, France and the USSR. Production ended in 1942, when its main armament was deemed inadequate. In all, over 1,400 Pz.Kpfw. 38(t)s were manufactured.  The chassis of the Pz. 38(t) continued to be produced for the Marder III open topped tank destroyer (1942- 1944) and was the basis for the enclosed Jagdpanzer 38 (1944–1945) tank destroyer and its derivative vehicles.
