1. False (Hungarian T-38G was an uparmored Pazner 38(t), not 35(t). )
2. False (Often presumed to have been derived from the British "Independant", but no documentary evidence from Soviet archives has yet been found to show any direct lineage.)
3. True
4. False (The T-34-85 was fitted with the 85mm gun. The T-34 was fitted with a 76mm gun. ChKZ is a reference to which factory the T-34 comes from, but not its version.)

1. False- the two were related only due to the fact that they looked similar

3. False-Blitzkrieg means "Lightning War" not lightning fast
4. True (I think, I don't remember precisely)
5 False- the British used the Fairy Swordfish, a Biplane Torpedo plane, early in WW II
