I did a mini diorama with American soldiers, who captured
this Pz.TKS(p). Model was not so difficult.

Pzkpfw.TKS(p) was of course Polish production TKS light tank captured by Germans in Poland
in 1939. The actual number of TK/TKS tanks captured and used in Wehrmaht is not known, but
during twenty were seen a 1940 Nazi German celebration in Warsaw. My Pz.TKS(p) is armed
with two Mg-15 and Mg-34 machine guns, but often German TKS`s were unarmed. The Germans
used TKSs mainly in Police, reconnaissance, and transport units. Some TKSs were used as a
tractor for Pak.36 cannons. It is very probable that some German TKSs were captured by the
Western Allies in France or Italy during 1944. Pzkpfw.TKS(p) were used with Pzkpfw.7TP
(captured Polish 7TP) during the campain in Norway in 1940. (mainly as a tractors).
