The Pz Kpfw 35(t) or Panzer 35(t) was the German designation for these captured Czech tanks manufactuer by the Skoda works. Many were also in service with the Romania army as the R1 and Slovakia having been supplied pre-war by the Czechs. Following the annexation of Bohemia the Germans pressed them into service.
