czech 38(t) use in afrika ?

[phil1942]

Hello, I know the czech 38(t) chasis was widely used by the Afrika korps with various guns mounted on top, but was the actual complete tank -38(t) - used at all by Rommel's forces in Afrika - I cant seem to find any pics or evidence.

Thanks for any info.

I am pretty sure that it was not used in North Africa?

Cheers, Ade.

Greetings all,
This is my first post...

When the DAK first arrived in Africa there were no 38t according to Thomas Jentz " Tank Combat in North Affrica" later only modified SPA versions.
5th Pz regt arrived with 25 PZ I, 45 PZII, 60 PzIII, 17PzIV for the attack.
PzJg Bn 605 had 27 PzJgI with 47mm guns. The 38t chassis would show up as Marders in this Bn...

I think the Chasis was used on on many PzII and maybe even Pz III and I am pretty sure that those fought in Afrika, the 38T itself likely not.

Later on many T34 wer redesigned using the same technique.
