The Panzer IV programme was started in 1934, forming, alongside the
Panzer IIs and IIIs, the schnellen Truppen, the force that was to
become the Panzerwaffe. At first, German planners envisioned the
tank in a secondary role, but during the invasions of The Low
Countries and France, it took on a more central role. When the
Panzerwaffe turned east to attack the Soviet Union, the Panzer IV
initially fared poorly against the better-armed T-34. However,
upgrades to its gun and armour protection saw it perform far
better, not only against Soviet armour but also against British and
American tanks in North Africa and Italy. In 1944, it was slowly
replaced by the Panzer V Panther, but the dire strategic situation
meant that it bore the brunt of the Allied D-Day invasion and its
aftermath, and it remained in service until the end of the war.
Fully illustrated throughout with contemporary photographs, this
fascinating study from German armour expert Thomas Anderson tells
the complete story of Germany's most widely produced tank of World
War II, from its design and development to its many upgrades and
variants.
