German Panzer IV Ausf.H
Description
A Polished Panzer
German forces relied heavily upon their workhorse the Panzer IV
during WWII, and numerous variants were manufactured. Of them,
the Ausf.H is often regarded as the most polished piece of
design and production. It packed a telling punch with its
long-barreled 7.5cm gun, and was fitted with distinctive
Schürzen armor plates to provide added protection from
anti-tank rifles. Around 2,300 Ausf.H Panzer IVs rolled off of
the production lines between April 1943 and February 1944, and
late production variants featured steel upper return rollers
and cast metal idler wheels, plus inverted V-shaped additions
to track links preventing slippage.
