  Achtung Panzer! - Hetzer
The Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) chassis was chosen as a base for this new Panzerjäger.
In November of 1944, it was also accepted to utilize Hetzer's chassis as a base for Flakpanzer 38(t) Hetzer (Kleiner Kugelblitz) mounted with turret (with the same and/or different armament) designed for Flakpanzer IV Kugelblitz, but it was never materialized due to the war situation.
Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer was cheap, fast, low and hard hitting and is considered to be one of the most successful tank destroyers of World War II.

 czech tanks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Despite the considerable effort made in the late 1930s to equip the Panzer Divisions with effective vehicles, the outbreak of war in September 1939 found the Germans woefully short of their needed tanks.
A total of 1168 tanks of this type was built for the Wehrmacht, and saw service in Poland, France, Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia, and formed a major part of the tank strength of Rommel's 7th Panzer Division during its rapid drive across Northern France in the 1940 campaign.
During 1940-1941 the PzKpfw 38(t) formed 25% of the total German tank force, and its importance was therefore considerable, the vehicle being superior in hitting power to either the PzKpfw I or II.

Panzerkampfwagen 38(d) was a German derivative of the venerable Czech Panzerkampfwagen 38(t).
The 38(d) was large enough to accept the PaK 42 L/70, and it could therefore replace all tanks destroyer and anti-aircraft versions of the Panzerkampfwagen IV.
It is somewhat interesting to note that by replacing the venerable Panzer IV with a version of the Panzer 38(t), Germany would have essentially been replacing one 1930's design with another.

I usually think of the the Gembloux battle as seperate from the fight around Hannaut-Merdorp since it was primarily French infantry corps that fought at the former.
The battle of Hannut shows that the Somua S35 tank can be at least the equal of the Panzer III and that the Panzer I and Panzer II are rather useless against the French tanks.
On the first day of the battle (the 12th) it took a entire panzer regiment, with reinforcing infantry artillery and air support, some twelve hours to advance 3-4 kilometers through two villages.
