  • Prior to World War II Škoda produced LT-35 and LT-38 tanks for the Czechoslovak Army, which were considered among the best tanks employed by any European army. However, the Czechoslovak Army never got a chance to use them. Following the Munich Conference, Czechoslovakia was forced to surrender without fighting. The Škoda Works, with their skilled workforce, fell intact into the Germany's hands, and production of the tanks continued under their German labels Panzer 35(t) and Panzer 38(t). These tanks were used extensively by the Wehrmacht in the invasion of Poland in 1939, of France in 1940 and of the Soviet Union in 1941. The Škoda Works also contributed significantly to Nazi Germany's war effort in many other ways, throughout the war. After the war the Škoda Works were nationalized by the Communist Czechoslovak Government, and privatized again after 1989.
