After the conquest of Poland, captured tankettes were used by the German army in various support roles, mostly for training, security duties or as artillery tractors. Many captured tankettes were also used by the Luftwaffe for airfield security and snowplowing. Here, the original 7.92 mm machine gun CKM WZ.25 (Hotchkiss) is replaced by a German MG-34 of the same caliber. |
