Из статьи INFANTRY AND TANKS IN THE SPANISH
CIVIL WAR:

"Neither German nor Italian tanks serving in Spain have come up to expectations. In Germany, high hopes had been built on the light 6-ton tank, produced at the beginning of 1935 ; their mobility was greatly admired; and according to report 1500 of them had been incorporated in the newly formed armoured divisions (Panzerdivisionen). At that time the German Higher Command were believed to be weighing the advantages of the attaque brusquee-the sudden onslaught, launched without warning. The idea underlying this doctrine was not to attempt to crash through a fortified zone, but to use the mobility of tanks to turn the flanks ; high speed, therefore, was the essence of the plan. Speed, however, implies a diminution in armoured protection. But, lately, these ideas have been modified; it has been realized that the race for the flanks may well be countered by the construction of fresh lines of defence which may have to be stormed in their turn. Hence, there has been a reaction away from high speeds towards lower speed combined with thicker armoured protection."

GERMANY.

23. The 39 German divisions, being permanently at approximate war strength, should be ready to leave peace stations by Z + 1 day.
There will probably be reserves of equipment sufficient to equip 15 reserve divisions on the same scale as the active divisions, and these divisions should be ready to leave peace stations by Z + 4 days. Also 24 Landwehr divisions equipped on a lower scale will be ready to take over frontier defence by Z + 6 days.
By January 1938 it is anticipated that the equipment of the 39 active divisions and the 15 reserve divisions will be completed with the possible exception of medium and heavy tanks. Owing to a shortage of trained officers the training of these divisions is still likely to fall short of the high standard which the German General Staff consider necessary for war.
24. Unless German construction of heavy tanks has already been carried out in secret on a large scale, she will not in January 1938 possess tank units of a
type or in the numbers necessary to give her a prospect of breaking through the French or Belgian frontier fortifications by means of A.F.Vs.
25. It is known to be Germany's aim to organize behind each active infantry division a first and second line reserve division.
By January 1938 it is estimated that 15 of these first line reserve divisions can be put into the field equipped on the same scale as the active divisions and that this number can be increased at the rate of just over one division per month.
It is, however, impossible to foresee what form the further expansion of the German Army will take after the declaration of war.
In addition, by January 1938, further progress will have been made in training the 24 Landwehr divisions to protect the frontiers and hold quieter parts of the front and so relieve active and reserve divisions for service elsewhere.

Ну да, PzIII и LT-38 по времени в сравнение не попали.
