Panzer C

It has something of the look of the Stuart about it. This would have given a Pz I a run for its money, but doesn't quite look the class of the II

Any idea what the thing is that looks like a big tin can next to the machine gun?

Could take on a Panzer II no problem

i think this is the model that was originally fitted with two machine guns and the round thing was the mount for the other mg, they made only a limited number of these and changed it as they were not powerful enough and added a cannon, another interesting fact is this tank was the first model tank to have a diesel engine.

Is that a 37mm or 40mm cannon?
