This book is dedicated to the light tanks of Germany during the Second World War. Also here you can learn about the formation of the German tank forces. This edition is corrected and supplemented with historical information. In 1939 - 1945 the tanks played a decisive role on the battlefields of the Second World War. Tank connections were the main striking force of the armies of countries that took part in the war and were actively used on all fronts of the fighting. It was the tank troops in the Second World War that began to play a major role in the battlefields. Along with aviation and artillery tanks were one of the decisive factors to achieve victory in the rapid offensive operations that were conducted throughout the war by the troops of Germany, the USSR, the United States and Britain. A decisive breakthrough in a certain sector of the front with the subsequent resolution of major strategic tasks without the use of tanks was simply impossible.
