Prior to the war, despite numerous attempts to increase tank production of the larger Panzer III and IV, this was not possible due to the limited industry. The Germans were instead forced to use a large number of the weakly armed Panzer I and Panzer IIs. Luckily for them, during the takeover of Czechoslovakia in early 1939, the Germans came into possession of the well known and developed Škoda and ČKD (Českomoravska-Kolben-Danek) factories. With them, the Germans obtained vast stockpiles of tanks, including some 200 LT vz. 35s and, more importantly, 150 (though not all finished by that time) LT vz. 38s.
