Greetings!
About the surviving Pz 35(t) vehicles: there's another one(hull,chassis,running gear and the turret with the main gun) as part of the armoured train in the "Skanzen ťažkej bojovej techniky" , right next to the Museum of the Slovak National Uprising,in Banska Bystrica,Slovakia. The Google Maps picture doesn't do justice for the thing though.
The only reason why I know it exists is because once we went through Banska Bystrica, we lost our way and... Yes, it's hard to miss an armoured train,even from a moving car.

At least you know where it is!
Also should note, the Lt vz 35 served as the basis for Czechoslovakia's medium tank program which failed. However, it was not a total lost since the Hungarians bought the license and modified the design to become their standard medium tank, the 40M Turan series.
Edit: The last operational uses of the Lt vz. 35 was during Slovak service when some of tanks were used during the Slovak National Uprising and Bulgaria used the tanks as training tanks up until the 1950s.
We will look into the Hungarian vehicles in a separate episode. Honestly, which a vehicle like the LT vz 35, there is a lot of information we have to leave out in order to keep the episode somewhat concise.
Well it didn't failed. The program resulted in CKD V-8-H being tested with good results and minor problems in summer 1938. Order for 400 production tanks was getting ready, but was stopped after Munich.
Nice, the 6Tons family is very interesting.
Interesting. Totally don’t know that tank.
Your documentary on the panzer 35 t is very interesting. I am an Italian model maker this information is very very useful.
I was just reading about this yesterday, linked in an article about the Geschützwagen 39(H)f which was the 10.5cm howitzer on the French Hotchkiss 39... apparently people were getting names/numbers mixed up and it was a side note.

my favourite tank
Best-looking light tank of WW2, in my opinion...
There's now a translated diary of a Nazi WW2 tank commander who drive one of these available to listen to on TH-cam now. It covers his experience on the Eastern front. Very brutal. I'm glad I was able have a better understanding of the tank he was constantly talking about, I've never heard of a Panzer 35 until now.
Excellent episode, thank you 😊
Not lenky tank but rather lehky tank (or more correct lehký) meaning light tank at start description.
Nice info and presentation. Thanks.
Excellent, just in time to keep me awake lol. Let's go. 👍
I'm a modeler good video for info! I'm building the command version from Bronco
oh boy here we go again
If I was a tank I would be a wussy.
I would have maximum 20 mm protection up front.
15 mm on the side.
Maybe 1 mm up top.
