Nope, they were Rolls Royce's main competitor in the 1920's, then we sold them out after the war when it went all commie - and during the woar they made Jagdpanzer's
I’m fairly sure we sold them out before the outbreak of hostilities never mind being powerless to stop anything happening to them after, much beyond 1942 we had no say in anything unless another country allowed us. Germany won a great possession when it took over Czech tank production.
As stated UK were powerless to intervene in any meaningful way after the war, before the outbreak maybe but even then unlikely. Any pact or treaty signed by the UK could never have been honoured at close to or the close of hostilities simply wouldn’t have happened. At the close of war as a nation we were bankrupt merely being bankrolled by the USA who at that time had no more stomach for war than we did. America’s attention was focused on defeating Japan while trying to keep the UK from reestablishing influence in the Pacific. There was also the tiny matter of a huge Soviet army sitting on terrain they’d never relinquish influence over. I’m afraid no treaty we’ve ever signed with other European powers since the turn of the previous century has been of merit to us. Chamberlain simply didn’t want war with Germany and one of the costs was the Czechs I’m afraid.
When I was a kid we had one of these in this colour. Hiddeous thing. I even turned down lifts to school in it as it mortified me so much. I was over the moon when some bloke fell asleep at the wheel of his car and smashed into the back of it - writing it off - while we were out on a family trip.
Why, why oh feckin why? The therapy was just about there and then you have to say that. So how do they make you feel?
