The Type 97 Te Ke Tankette, the successor of the Type 94 and Type 92 tankettes, fulfilling both of their roles as artillery and ammo tractors, and as a reconnaissance tankette for the cavalry.
The Type 97 was an improvement over the Type 95 light tank in that it had a simple front glacis, rounded nose, and bulletproof glass over all vision ports. The engine was protects by armour plates instead of Lourves, and the engine itself was an advanced swirl chamber Ikegai engine.
It's two man crew was it's draw back however, and if one man was incapacitated, the Tankette lost all combat ability. For that reason, the Type 95 often replaced it in its intended role.

جيش بلاد العرب الحرة
Legion Freies Arabien
Free Arabian Legion was a Nazi German military unit formed from Arab volunteers from the Middle East and North Africa during World War II.
It was created by Amin al-Husseini and Rashid Ali when they suggested the formation of an army of Arab volunteers, which was adopted by Adolf Hitler in 1941. The unit was based on a smaller force, commanded by Hellmuth Felmy, mainly to assist the Pro-Nazi revolt in Iraq which was suppressed by the British. The unit was first settled in Syria and included several Iraqi expatriates, and Syrian Arabs. After the conquest of Syria by the British, Australian and Free-French forces, the unit was moved to Sounion in Greece. There it received more Arab and Muslim troops who were on the soil of Europe at the time, as prisoners of war, or as volunteers.
