I think the Panzer 38t is very underrated, thanks for this!
Compared to a Panzer I or II, it is quite the MBT.
@@davidorama6690 I also think the
panzer II is underrated too, same as the panzer I, they were both very effective in early blitzkrieg tactics
There is entire anime about tanks, and T-38 has main role.
The little Czech tank that could!
The AA&AM is a world class armour museum.. The array of vehicles is truly amazing
38(t) is a Czech vehicle, the 't' signifying 'Tschechoslowakei' in German.
Letter suffixes were often added to equipment that was also captured by the Germans.
That's what i intended to write. It's all correct.
LT vz. 38 Made by ČKD Praha
I never realised before, that the 38t is so small against an StuG
To be fair, it's a light tank, and a pre WW2 design (not actually German, it is a Czech tank that was adapted by them).
It helps make you understand why the jagdpanzer 38t was so successful. Tiny little beast could hide anywhere yet still have a 7.5cm main gun.
Its not much better than a Panzer 2. In operation Barbarossa the 38t was pretty much a sitting duck for all the very capable Soviet AT guns. The riveted armor would fail spectacularly, and big chunks would break off and enter the interior causing a lot of injuries. I think Tiger ace, Otto Carius had a stint in one.....great read.
Panzer 2 armor, better speed and maneuverability with a panzer 3's main gun. @@wazza33racer
@@wazza33racer Of course the Pz IIIs at the time wasn't much better. The 38ts had the advantage of the being reliable and... simply available.
A tank quite ahead of it's time in certain aspects.
For an interwar design, it's a spaceship
It's easy to see why the Germans kept them in production, it looks like quite the useful design.
@@LN997-i8x The panzer 38 and the Panzer 2 were the backbone of the Wehrmacht for the early war in 1939 and early 1940s, only when the Pz 3 and 4 finally started getting higher production numbers were they finally retired from a Frontline role and more on being scouts and getting rebuilt into tank destroyers
I love the sound of tracks clicking and clanking like this
Agree. But imagine the fear it put into enemy infantrymen.
👍🏽
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 Oh ho it be glorious
Unless of course you are on the receiving end of it! Lol
It runs so fast. Awesome to see this IRL. Also it's a bit more Czechoslovakian than German :>
Actually wholly Czech! LOL. The Germans just hijacked the project.😂
@@wernervanderwalt8541 Not really hijacked, they were kinda forced into adapting it. Because factories in ČSR lacked machinery heavy enough to manufacture heavier vehicles. Also they also put a lot of work into them as well, making these machines even better then original LT vzor 38.
The "t" in 38t indicates "Tschechoslowakei" - Czechoslowakia.
@@stanislavczebinski994 Yeah I know that.
Greetings from Czech Republic. Its nice to see this vehicle restored and on the other side of the world. 👍👍👍
I was surprised how clean the exhaust is.. is that the original engine?
Modern fuel?
@@michaelostergren3516 Only the good stuff for that engine😺
Thank you for that video. I enjoyed it very much. Lehký tank 38 is the best of Czechoslovak engineering.
What a nice tank!
And what a huge collection of armor there!
Must be one of the largest collections in the World...
Probably one of the but it's either that swede one or Bovington which is
@@bencurran3204 Don't forget Kubinka.
@@budwyzer77 true
I love this channel so much!
I also love how Daryl is always working in his shorts in a greasy workshop.
Shorts are more comfortable than sweating your ring gear out wearing trousers in the hot and humid Far North Queensland weather :)
@@mangoman9290 ... and if they are suitably tight the spiders can't get in.
Thanks Team, I needed a workshop fix. I am always amazed that you have a 38t is such brilliant condition. Considering that the vehicle was used for everything beside a light tank, as Its chassis was use in so many other configurations. Cheers and thanks,
The video quality is amazing and the restauration project of the Grant Tank was really well edited.
Your channel is worth being watched!
My absolute favourite early war Axis tank. Thanks for the demo.
The 38t was the first armor model I ever built so it has a soft spot in my heart! So cool seeing it tinker around like that.
Bonus video, yay! Looking forward to some of the videos from the big day!
Flipping between this channel and the Asenalen tank museum video to confirm whether this is actually a Swedish built vehicle. The gap between the road wheels and the patched hole at the rear says it is. Which is really cool. The things you learn from the cool stuff all the different museums put out.
One of my favs, for an early tank i think it is cool looking.
I love your channel and the work you all do to preserve WWII history.
A remarkable survivor that demonstrates the huge development of tanks during the War. 👍🏻🏴
Yeah, this was easily the best tank when the war started. Mobile, reliable, cheap and with enough firepower. (Many early tanks had only machineguns, supposed use like infantry fighting vehicle)
A great little tank. The right track could do with a tighten perhaps.
Having tracks that are tight when it's not being used to cross country absorbs more power and puts a lot of strain on the drive and idler sprockets. It also stretches and thus wears the track out faster. About 1.5 inches is quite normal. (From an ex-tank soldier and maintenance instructor with about twenty years experience). 🙂
Great way to set the hypemeter for AusArmourfest! 🤩
Good work there lads.
Taking your tank walkies :)
i love this old vehicle
Looks like they've got themselves a "runner". Helluva museum - look at all of that armor!
I don't know what it is, but something about the 38t is so fascinating to me. Love the video!
what i like most, is this boys are not scare to fire up and run tank in the museum, in the middle of visitor, that how history must be keept, alive and running
Before the turret was moved, it looked like you were taking a salute as you ran down the line.
I thought the same about that😅
@2:30 "Be berrry berry quiet. I hunting for that T-34 again." /von Fund
Ayoo a new videos 🥶🥶
The Panzer 38 is my favorite tank from WWII, it’s cool to see one in this good of a condition.
Awesome, I use to have a 1/35 scale Tamiya model of the 38t in the late 1970s.
So did I! Maybe the first tank model I put together.
It sure runs clean. I've never seen one rolling before. Thank you!
That has got to be one of my favorite tanks built 2 for a model competition once and would build them again
Great video!
It looks so happy just to be rolling around.
Incredible all the hard work and dedication you all share. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Sweet! Sounds surprisingly gentle.
I love watching this show, and all of the guys who work on these age old machines. What a great job., ever since I discovered this channel, you peopole are wonderful and awesome, keep the videos coming.
Bless the Czechs and Skoda... The Pz38t did a lot of werk for the Krauts in the early 40's!
They didn't have a choice.
Yes, but the Pz38(t) was produced by CKD, not Skoda.
@@budwyzer77 Yeh... OK! Good point. But you know what I meant.... yeah?
You guys do beautiful work their. Great to see these pieces of history.
Amazing
Good old Thing ! Do You use Avgas to fuel them up ? We have the Problem with missing Lead and the modern Fuels desintegrate after 5 to 6 Month in the Tank. Super Plus or Avgas..what do you think is better. The availabel Alkydfuel (Aspen4) is no good. All the Sealings leak after some Time and must be replaced. That is a real Problem for old gasoline Engines. From Germany with kind regards, Rudi 👍
Beautiful job
The museum has a very impressive collection.
Thanks :)
I love the classic tank sound, the rattle as she moves, thanks boys👍👍🇦🇺sounds just like the old war movies!
you guys blessed my ears
Just love the crew comforts……………😂
A yes the good old 38T the original back bone of the German panzer divisions along side the panzer 1 and 2
It’s sad because this tank was designed and produced as a counterpart to Panzer I, II and early models of III.
Nice engine sound. Suprizing heavy for such a small tank.
10 tons of steel
Beauty machine...
To have a 38t in a tank museum would be impressive but to have one in running order is amazing. Is the driving compartment as roomy as it looks in the video ?
A big noise for such a wee beastie, and great to see it running.
A totally underrated tank in the early war phase!
Yeah, there is no propaganda machine behind him.
Germans did not say anything about using tank from untermensch.
Soviets did not say anything about tank used by germans
Allies will not say anything about tank from eastern europe
...and France is still thinking how these tanks spearheaded through their defenses.
To be fair, Czechia was quite heavily germanised by the 1930s, and many Czechs could speak German. They weren’t treated nearly as badly as their more easterly Slav neighbours.
When will the next tiger 1 update video come out?
These guys have the coolest job ever
Will the tiger 1 be on display during Ausamour fest?
cool tank
man I would love to have one of those
it just has to one of the best perks of the job there: drive around in all those vehicles!! Has to beat any lease car!! ;)
If I ever make it to Oz, this museum is on my list of priorities.
Definitely my favorite early WW2 tank. How many runners are known to exist?
People who do things like this are people who i cannot stop being jealous of
🏆🙏🤗🇺🇲
Thank you for sharing
Was für ein Tolles Fahrzeug! ❤
It be unreal to see these talnk in action at this year's Australian armoured artillery museum tank fest 2023
Nice!
The tank is marked from the 7th Panzer division commanded by Rommel during the invasion of France and mostly equipped with 38ts.
that engine sound is so damn good, when will we get an official aus armour engine asmr video?
The main gun looks similar to the IJA tank Ha-Go main gun... Neat!
All WWII Tanks were amazing feats of engineering.
The Tracks got a little bit stiff? Nice to see it running! Greetings from Germany! 😊
stug is looking fresh
Woo. Bonus video!
Thought Bovington had a load of Tanks. You guys might just beat them.
looks like the chassi from a Swedish sav m/43 that is built on the strv m/41 chassi that is based on the Czech TNH tank .
Hey AusArmour. Love your work 👍
remarkable you have a running early war tank
Well done absolut amazing😊😊😊😊😊
I didn't expect that thing's exhaust note to sound so mean! In a good way, of course. Diesel engine or petrol?
Looks simple enough that I could build one in the shop, but with a welded hull. :D
Sounded like a pissed off cougar when trying to start up! Glad the beast was tamed 😅
Stug to the 38t: "Excuse me, but you are invading my Lebensraum!"
Lt Grubers “little tank” 😂
So thoughtful of the Germans to put an aiming point on the side of the tank.
Thank you for posting every interesting videos !. Wondering what are those track links on this 38t tank ?. They don't look like the original one.🤔
It's sounds like blitzkrieg ^^ beside to the hetzer, wich is PZ 83 (T) based, we can see the amount of modifications the germans did to make it a TD
Cute little baby tank Panzer 38(T). One of my favorites, with a cute design! but i have a question … What versiin of this 38(T) is this?
I'd like to bid on the 38T.
You could use that as your daily drive. Great little tank.
Just the thing for a relaxing drive through the French countryside.
It would be great in today's traffic, not having to worry about electric scooters scratching your paint
Praga EPA or EPA/2 engine. Six cylinder inline, four stroke, 7,75 liter displacement, petrol engine. Either 120 hp at 2200 rpm (EPA) or 160 hp at 2800 rpm EPA/2.
Is this tank started fairly frequently? I didn't see it blowing any oil smoke on start-up.
Great seeing it running, so few of them left now.
Noticed the hull mounted machine gun is missing and blanked off, did this vehicle come like that or is a job to restate it at a later date?
It was quite commonly done in service
This was probably a command tank hull that they used for the restoration. Those were the most likely to have the bow MG mount blocked off
@@tomhouman3 Like I said
Now to take it to drive in movie
It's beautifull 🤩👌
To me the footage that starts at 2:56 is the most beautiful ive ever seen om youtube
