Conflict here. This should be standarized with LT-35. Either they both go by their German name, or both by their original name. I vote for the German name since that's the only one they saw service under. Oberiko 00:43, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Also, the German names are more commonly used in English-language publications. -- Cabalamat 11:23, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Minor point here. The German name is by far the best known, but they saw service under other names, e.g. in Romanian service. DMorpheus 14:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gunner-Loader?

If one is the driver and the other radio-operator and bow gunner, then between the commander and the gunner one must double as a loader. My guess is the gunner must double as the loader--anyone know the answer?

-Chin, Cheng-chuan

Based only on the exterior turret layout, it appears the tank commander was also the gunner. The machinegun was belt-fed and is on the opposite side as the commander's cupola, so the loader had to be on that side. The gunner's sight is on the same side as the commander. At least that's how it looks to me. DMorpheus 14:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

As it does not accuratly represent the typical Panzer 38(t), I'm replacing the image of the Swiss tank with an older photograph of an actual German model. (USMA2010 06:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC))

Good edit, thanks DMorpheus 15:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Not that good as the image is missing source and copyright holder. --Denniss 17:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
