Of all the german Kampfpanzerwagen series this one was the longest serving , although in other countries of course

That would be the Hetzer, IIRC in Swiss service?

Pz-38(t) and its offsprings - Hetzer among them . Swiss used it AFAIK to the 70-s , and Swedish m42 light tank at least to the 60-s . Ironically the best of all much touted german panzers was actually of Czech origin . Not the best as tank of course , but as chassis .

your question .

That's cheating. The Pz-38(t) wasn't a German tank at all. It was made by Czehoslovakia. Germany captured them during the annexation. It's like counting Russian T-34s in German service, or T-26s in Finnish service, as as Finnish or German tanks.

not cheating , it was not in service by the time Germans came in . It went into production after that .
The first Moskvich 400 was pre-war Opel Kadett , first Bristols were copies of BMW etc. etc . Still considered Soviet and British cars .

Still smilingassassins turn

Longest serving pure German design was the Stug III which remained in Finnish service until 1966. Or the Mk IV and V which was still in Austrian service as border emplaced strong points into the 1980's IIRC.
