How essential were they? Not very. But they did have a decent impact in a few areas. Notably the Czech tank design that is now known and the Panzer 38(t) served the German Reich well. So well in fact that the production continued on this tank design until 1942 when it’s peimary armaments would be considered too out of date and parts of the tank would later be used in the Jagdpanzer 38 designs.
