MikeyD Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Look what's been recently refurbished at some Russian museum. It seems so tiny! Y'know, this REALLY looks like something I'd rather NOT go to war in, thank you very much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konstantine Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Thanks for the pics. The Pz38(t)e is one of my favorite tanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 It's not so tiny if you're a Polish, French, Dutch, Belgian, British, Yugoslav, Greek or Russian infantryman with a trifle, bayonet, 40 rounds and a grenade to fight it with!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I wonder how many Allied soldiers only had a trifle and a bayonet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoat Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've read that some Frenchmen were armed with a truffle and bayonet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hmmh. I always thought it was a truffle and a bonnet. Now I'll have to check my sources... :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Some more pics from the Russian enactment. Note the lack of trifles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David I Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Sergei, Looks like they were reinacting the early part of the war when the trifle shortage was acute in the Soviet Army. This was mainly due to Stalin's pre-war 5 year plan that basically regulated trifle production down to the level of cast iron condom production. It wasn't until 1943 that trifle production was finally up to usage and spoilage levels. Ironically cast iron condom production was always up to usage and spoilage levels.

Renaud Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Definitely conscript troops. Yep, the Pz38t was small and dangerous for it's occupants who could practically never survive a serious penetration. OTOH, it wins vs. a T26 (see middle pic above). Anywho, great to see those Pz38t pics!!! awesome! Patboy, can I use that first one (dry condition) in my 22nd PZD scenario packs? If anyone would like some historical scenarios featuring the Pz38t, you could try out my "22nd PZD" series at the Proving Grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
