Panzer IV Ausf D (German)

Description

The Panzer IV was a German medium tank of WWII and their most produced tank during the war. Designed in the 1930s and introduced in 1939, it saw service throughout all German theatres of operation and was the only German tank in production continuously during the war.

Early marks of the PzIV were armed with the 75mm L/24 low velocity howitzer as found on early StuG III variants and the Stummel. Later marks received the more powerful 75mm L/43 and finally 75mm L/48 anti-tank guns which allowed them to effectively engage Allied tanks.

Two of the most notable and visible features on later PzIV tanks is the addition of Zimmerit paste to stop the use of magnetic explosives, and the “Schurzen” side skirts mounted on the turret and hull to protect against shaped charge weapons such as the PIAT. 

The PzIV chassis also formed the basis of many other vehicles including various Flak panzers such as the Wirbelwind, Mobelwagon and Ostwind, tank destroyers like the Jagdpanzer IV and assault vehicles such as the StuG IV and Sturmpanzer IV.

Over 8500 were built in total and saw service with various countries after the war as training vehicles, static defence or even as “main battle tanks”!NOTE: Marks A – F are supplied with a short barrelled howitzer, Marks F2 – J are supplied with a long barrelled anti-tank gun.
