Britain's Light Tank Mk VI updated

I've made some minor updates for the Light Tank Mk VI.

France's Char Léger 17R (Renault FT-17) updated

Another holdover from World War I, the French Army still had around 1,300 FT-17s in operation when the Germans invaded.

France's Char Léger FCM-36 updated

The French built tanks intending for them to just be infantry support. The FCM-36 was such a vehicle that was built in small numbers.

French light tank updates

I've made some minor updates to the pages for the H-35, H-38, and R-35 light tanks that were in use with the French Army when Germany invaded in 1940.

Belgium and the Netherlands updated

I've made updates for Belgium: T.15, history, units and the Netherlands: M39, history. Both countries were in a similar situation as Poland, with modernization coming too late to have any affect on the Germans.

Polish updates

The Poles fought very well, but they were outnumbered and didn't have the tactics to defeat the invading Germans. I've made updates to the history, 7TP, and TKS pages.

United States' M3 light tank, Stuart photo added

Rounding out this morning's photo additions is the M3 light tank.

United States' M3 light tank, Stuart photo added

We're going to start the morning with another new picture. This time a M3 Light Tank.

Thanks to Mark Holloway! I've added some pictures for the M24 Chaffee.

United Kingdom's Light Tanks, more updates

A couple more updates to finish off the light tanks.

• Vickers 6 Ton
• Harry Hopkins

United Kingdom's Light Tanks updated

Now starting on the source that was my very first one used in building the site. Hoping to find some new tidbits to add that I didn't initially. Also to properly attribute it as a source.
I've now made some modifications to the Light Tanks used by the United Kingdom. More to come!

• Tetrarch
  
• Light Tank Mk VI
• Light Tank Mk I

Soviet T-70 and T-80 light tanks updated

The Soviets kept on trying to improve their light tank designs. The next one was the T-70, which many felt wasn't an improvement over the T-60. The last one, the T-80 was built in small numbers in 1943. Unfortunately I don't have much information on it.

Soviet T-40 and T-60 light tanks updated

The T-40 was a decent amphibious reconnaissance vehicle that was too often, used as a regular tank. The T-60 was a much better light tank that was easier to build in large numbers. I've added some historical and specification updates.

Another batch of Soviet Union light tanks updated

Here's the next set of light tank updates for the Soviet Union.

• T-38, T-37, T-50, T-46, T-38, T-60, T-26

The Soviets made use of thousands and thousands of light tanks during World War II. I've made some updates to these:

• T-60
• T-50
• T-40

Soviet Union's T-26 light tank updated

Over 12,000 T-26s were constructed before World War II. It was used in the Spanish Civil War, in Finland, and against the Japanese.

Soviet Union updates stop for the night

Ok, added some more additions to the Soviet pages tonight. Here they are:

• T-38
• T-26
• T-37
• T-27

Going to bed now, so good night!

Soviet Union updates continue

I decided to crack open a couple sources that I haven't looked at in a couple years. One to update the sources and see if I can glean any additional information out of the books. Here's the first set of updates:

• T-24
• MS-1
• History
• KV-2
• KV-1
• T-35
• T-100

Soviet Union's T-70 and T-80 light tank updates

Last of the specification updates for the Soviets is now done! Whew! Don't worry there will be more updates! The T-70 and T-80 light tanks finish it off for this round.

Soviet Union's T-60 light tank updated

Have added additional specification information for the Soviet T-60 light tank.

Poland updates

Working my way through some sources on Poland. So far have added additional divisions, information on the TKS, and the 7 TP. I'm also still working on historical information.

Japan's Type 95 Ha-Go light tank photo added

The Type 95 Ha-Go light tank had several thousand produced and was used all over the Pacific and mainland Asia.

Japan's Type 93 Light Tank photo added

Unfortunately I have very little information on the Type 93 Light Tank.

Soviet Union's T-50 light tank updated

The T-50 was found to take as much effort as it was to build a medium tank so it was never put into major production like many of the other Soviet light tanks in World War II.

Soviet Union's T-40 light tank updated

Most models of the T-40 were amphibious. Probably under 500 were produced.

Soviet Union's T-46 light tanks updated

The T-46 was similar to the T-26, but had the familiar Christie suspension that many Soviet designs had.

Soviet Union's T-26 light tank updated

The Soviets built nearly 12,000 T-26 light tanks that were used in the Spanish Civil War and in the war with Finland.

Soviet Union's T-38 light tank updated

Continuing with the progression of Soviet designs, next came the T-38, which was also an amphibian.

Soviet Union's T-37 light tanks updated

The Soviets, more so than any other country during World War II, developed a long line of light amphibious tanks. Which seems to make sense since the Soviet Union did have a lot of areas crisscrossed by water without roads, so to get quickly around those obstacles an amphibious tank was used. One of the earliest models was the T-37.

Soviet Union's OT-130 flame thrower photos added

Despite some impressions given, the Soviet Union did develop specialized armored vehicles during World War II. One of these was the modification of the T-26, the OT-130 flame thrower. It was in the border wars with the Japanese and in the invasion of Finland.

Soviet Union's T-70 light tank photo added

The Soviet Union was able to out produce the Germans in light tanks during World War II. The T-70s had over 8,200 produced, numbers that the Germans could only dream of.
I've now added another picture.

Soviet Union's T-60 light tank improved photo added

Another light tank the Soviets used in World War II was the T-60. Though not a new photo, it's a better one than the one I had previously.

Soviet Union's T-40 light tank photo added

The Soviets had several amphibious light tank designs that were used during World War II. One of these was the T-40.

United States' M22 light tank, Locust updated

The M22 Locust was intended to be used by airborne forces. However, the Americans didn't have gliders large enough to transport them. The British did, and used the Locust in combat.

United States' M24 light tank, Chaffee updated

Not only was the M24 Chaffee an excellent light tank, but it led the way in producing a "combat team" of military vehicles that would share the same chassis, thus simplifying maintenance and supply.
I've made some minor additions and reorganized the page.

United States' M5 light tank updated

I've now updated the page for the M5 Light Tank I've also split out the the page for the M5A1.

United States' M3 light tank, Stuart updated

The M3 Light Tank was probably used by all the major Allied powers during World War II along with some captured ones being used by Axis forces as well. I've updated and broken out the different models of the M3.

United States' M2 light tank updated

A tank that was primarily used for training was the M2 Light Tank. It did see some limited combat in the Pacific.
I've updated and broken out the different models to their own pages.

• M2 main page
• M2A1
• M2A2
• M2A3
• M2A4

United States' M1 Combat Car updated

All tank forces had to begin with elementary designs at some point and one of the more successful early designs used by the United States Army was the Combat Car M1. In actuality it was a tank, but it had to be called a Combat Car to get by Congressional restrictions on tank development.
I've now added some minor historical updates.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen II Light Tank updated

During the past couple of days I've been updating the PzKpfw II light tank pages. Reorganized the photos, added additional historical and specification information for some of the different models.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen I, SdKfz 101 updated

Originally intended to only be a training tank, nevertheless, the German Panzerkampfwagen I was used in combat due to the inadequate numbers of better tanks in the Panzer units. They were used in Poland, France, and the early phases of Barbarossa before they were withdrawn from front line units. Many of them were converted into other uses, such as self propelled artillery or antitank weapons.

Japan's Type 95 Ha-Go Light Tank updated

I've added some specification information for the Type 95 Ha-Go.

Japan's Type 98 Ke-Ni, Type 2 Ke-To Light Tanks updated

Added some additional historical information on Japan's Type 98 and Type 2 Light Tanks.

• Type 89 Chi Ro
• Type 92
  
• Type 94 Te Ke
• Type 95 Ha-Go
  
• Type 97 Te Ke
• Type 97 Chi Ha
