Recycling the Panzers - Managing Germany’s obsolete tanks
Part of Germans at War Week Part 2

Our guest today is ‘Armour Enthusiast' Pete Blanchard, who's primary interest is in armour from 1920 to 1945, covering design, development, deployment, usage, maintenance, doctrine, etc.
His Twitter account: @RivetsAndPins. In today's show Pete will touch on how Germany had unique circumstances (comparatively limited resources, taking on hundreds of captured tanks, etc), how it managed those tanks as they passed their sell-by date and using the PzKw 38(t) as the key vehicle to demonstrate the lengths the Nazis went to make the most out of their tank park.
