Right, but they were still using them in France and later in the early stages of Barbarossa. Pz II were not much better. Most Pz III were still equipped with 37mm gun and their armor was insufficient. The reason the 7 Pz.Div of Rommel was spearheading the attack was because it was equipped with Pz.38(t) taken over from Czecoslovakia.
