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.

Thanks for the pics. The Pz38(t)e is one of my favorite tanks.

[Guest Mike]

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!!

[Sergei]

I wonder how many Allied soldiers only had a trifle and a bayonet?

[stoat]

I've read that some Frenchmen were armed with a truffle and bayonet.

[Sergei]

Hmmh. I always thought it was a truffle and a bonnet. Now I'll have to check my sources... :confused:

[stoat]

Those would be the reservist fromages not the regular forces, or femmes.

[konstantine]

Patboy: nice mod.

[Sergei]

Some more pics from the Russian enactment. Note the lack of trifles.

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.

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.
