German Medium Tank PzKpfw IV Ausf. H, Eastern Front, 1943

When it comes to WWII German tanks, most people would naturally place the Tiger I at the top of the list after being involved in many legendary battles. But this speaks little to the actual production quantity of the Tiger I which was only slightly more than 1,300 units. Very similar to the Hurricane which was the workhorse of the British Air force, but often played second fiddle to the Spitfire. It was, in fact, the Panzerkampfwagen IV, commonly known as the Panzer IV which was the heart of the German tank fleet.

The Panzer IV is medium size tank developed during the late 1930’s, which served the entirety of WWII. Like a lot of tanks designed at that time, the panzer IV was able to be converted into many different variants to reflect the theatre of war it was serving in, whether that was a more anti-tank/ anti-infantry role or as a command vehicle with enhanced communication equipment. This was one of the main reasons even though the standard cannon was less powerful than a tiger I, that the panzer eventually reached 8,500 units built.

The Pz.Kpfw. IV, commonly known as Panzer IV had more than 8 model variants throughout the entire production span. One of the most significant variants would be the Ausf. H model, it could easily be identified with the 5mm thickness side armour plate, in German term known as the "Schuer tzen". The turret was almost surrounded by side grilles, which helped defence against hollow-charge ammunition. The Panzer IV Ausf. H was also equipped with the improved 75mm L/48 gun, no wonder it won the reputation of "Work Horse" among the German tank battalions.
