Minutes of meetings with the armor committee of 1941

The “armor committee of 1941” (1941 års pansarkommitté) was a working group tasked to develop a satisfactory Swedish medium tank, with severe time constraints and a strict requirement that it must not weigh more than 22 tons. The result was strv m/42, which basically was an improved Landsverk L-60.

These four documents contain minutes of meetings with the committee in 1941 and 1942.
