I have found little information on how the PT-76 was used in battle. Is there a source for more?

I dunno, what can be called "battle", but there were PT-76s in Prague 1968.

Actually, I meant how a PT-76 would be positioned and used in a battle. I know about the PT-76's in Vietnam that were sent to fight Patton tanks in Vietnam and got bested, but I assume that it wasn't their intended typical use.

they were used as recon vehicles. Most used in Vietnam were NOT PT-76 but Chinese type 63s...
