Following Germany’s annexation of Czechoslovakia, the German army modified various Czech-made military hardware and pressed them into service. Among these was the LTvz.35 light tank built by Skoda, which was re-designated as the Pz.Kpfw.35(t). Med en bevæbning af en 37 mm hovedkanon og to 7,92 mm maskingeværer og en 120 hk væskekølet benzinmotor, der muliggjorde en maksimal hastighed på 34 km / t, var denne lette tanks kapacitet på niveau med den tyske hærs Panzer III mellemstore kampvogne. I begyndelsen af anden verdenskrig var 6. panserdivision udstyret med omkring 200 af disse kampvogne, og de blev brugt under invasionerne af Polen og Frankrig samt de tidlige stadier af invasionen af Rusland.
