Academy 13313 Pz.bef.wg.35(t) "German Command Tank"

Panzerbefehlswagen 35 (t)[w skrócie: (Pz.Bef.Wg. 35 (t)] was a German command tank from the Second World War. The wagon's length was 4.9 meters, with a fuselage of 2.06 meters. The tank was powered by a single 120hp Skoda T-11 engine. The maximum speed was up to 34-35 km / h. Panzerbefehlswagen design 35 (t) was based on the successful Czechoslovak light tank LT vz. 35, which in the German Wehrmacht was called PzKpfw 35 (t). It is worth adding that a relatively large number of these vehicles were used by the German army as a result of the occupation of Czechoslovakia and the creation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1939. The new vehicle was to be used as a command tank in armored units equipped with the PzKpfw 35 (t), and the main change was to install a frame antenna at the rear of the vehicle and to add a powerful radio station inside the vehicle. Before the start of the September campaign, several PzKpfw 35 (t) (from 8 to 11 cars) were rebuilt, and at the beginning of World War II, a few more vehicles. Cars Pz.Bef.Wg. 35 (t) took part in the September campaign (1939) and during the fighting in Western Europe in 1940.
