    Product Description

    The Czech built Panzer 38(t) tank, following its successful service in Poland and France, next saw service during Operation Barbarossa with the 7th, 8th, 12th, 19th, and 20th, Panzer Divisions.

It suffered heavy casualties during the Soviet counter offensive in the winter of 1941–42, after which the division was withdrawn to Estonia for a refit.

It took part in Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, suffering such heavy casualties in the first two months that one of its three tank battalions had to be disbanded by August. It fought around Velikiye Luki, advancing in the central sector of the front, before participating in the Battle of Moscow. Further losses during the defensive operations in the winter of 1941–42 forced the division to disbanded another tank battalion, reducing it to just one.
