Product Description
HISTORY
The Panzer IV was
the most manufactured and deployed German tank of WWII and was
developed in Germany in the late 1930s. Originally designed as an
infantry support tank it later became a fighter tank as its predecessor
Panzer III became obsolete against enemy tanks.
It was also the
most widely exported tank in German service, with around 300 sold to
partners such as Finland, Spain and Bulgaria. The French and Spanish
also sold dozens to Syria after the war and it was used in combat in the
Six-Day War.
The Panzer IV Ausf. F was first produced in April
1941. Some 464 Ausf. F1s were produced between April 1941 and March 1942
of which 25 were converted to F2, 175 F2s were produced from March
1942- July 1942.
The difference between the F1 and F2 was that the
F2 was fitted with a new, longer, KwK 40 L/43 anti-tank gun to counter
soviet T-34 and KV tanks. The Panzer was the only German tank to remain
in production and combat throughout WWII.
