Information about the tank:

• The german Panzer IV was initially planned as support tank for the lighter tank Panzer III as it had a gun with a bigger calibre.
• But it became the backbone of the tank troops as it was the only german tank which was used during world war II completely.
• The first version A tanks of Panzer IV were produced in 1936/37 while the last version J was produced until 1945.
• Beside Panzer IV some derivates were produced as well:
• Sturmgeschuetz IV as assault gun and Jagdpanzer IV as tank hunter as well as Sturmpanzer IV as infantry support tank against emplacements.
• Geschuetzwagen (Gw) III/IV as tank howitzer “Hummel” and tank hunter Hornisse / Nashorn.
