In 1935 at the request of the Royal Yugoslav Army, Škoda developed a prototype of the T-32 by replacing the main armament of an MU-4 with a 37mm A3 anti-tank gun.

En route to Niš, the tank column engaged German forces near the town of Topola.
These captured tanks were sent to the Škoda factory to be refitted as training vehicles for Waffen-SS panzer division units.
