WW2 Panzer IV Ausf. B - D - E footage - Panzerkampfwagen IV. pt2.

WW2 Panzer IV Ausf. B - D - E footage - Panzerkampfwagen IV. pt2.
The Panzerkampfwagen IV was designed as the Versuchs-Kraftfahrzeug 622 in 1934 and went into production in 1937, and would fit the the short barrel 75 mm gun, and this would stay the same for the Ausf. A to F.
It would be a a support tank to be used to handle anti-tank guns and fortifications, it would work alongside the more numerable Panzer III in Panzer Divisions, but would changes it's roll in the later part of the war.
The Panzer IV Ausf.A production started in 1937 and ended in June 1938, it was similar to the B.W.I Prototype and production would stop after 35 vehicles had been completed, the Ausf.B went into production 1938 which had several changes to the A, with more frontal armour without a ball mount for the MG-34 machine gun, a new 300hp Maybach HL-120TR engine, transmission, single-piece hatches and commander’s cupola.
The A and B almost didn't have any external differences and it only had a improved modified engine, engine mounts, new turret ring and armored sleeve mount around the machine gun barrel.
The Ausf.D had numerous changes made to the front hull armour, and looked more like the Ausf.A, the ball mounted MG-34 machine gun was reintroduced and the driver’s front was fitted forwards again.
The gun mantlet armour plate was reinforced with 35 mm thickness, hull was reinforced with 30 mm and so was the side and rear armour with 14.5 mm to 20 mm.
Some late D versions had 30 mm thick armour plates bolted or welded to the front superstructure, hull and to the sides bringing the armour protection up to 40 mm and 60 mm.
From October 1938 and October 1939, 231 Ausf .D tanks were completed, some 19 chassis were used for special version, like Bruckenleger IV (Bridge layer) Dicker Max self-propelled gun and a ammunition carrier and loader for the Karl-Gerät.
The Ausf.E was almost identical to the Ausf.D for only a few changes to the running gear, like a new drive sprocket, improved roadwheels, a smoke grenade launcher was fitted to the left side of the engine deck, two embedded hatches in the front armour plating, the Fahrersehklappe-30 drivers visor was changed, together with the split-hatch commander’s cupola already fitted to the new Panzer III Ausf.G, the front armour was again increased to 50 mm, and some had additional 30 mm applique armor added to the front and 20 mm applique armour to the sides.

For 1940 the Panzer IV was defenetly a fantastic tank. Not because of armor or AT fire power but simply because it was one of the first to have the glorious 3 man turret which simply proved to be the way to go. Also the short 75mm proved to be devestating against infanterie.

It's a shame that these videos aren't more appreciated. I am adding this comment and a like to support you. KZbin is ridiculous.

A great job again with this very interesting footage! It must be said that the Pz.Kwg IV was a good tank up until Operation Barbarossa providing very good support for the troops with it's stubby 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24 cannon although initially produced in relatively small numbers! Thanks for sharing this...👍👍

7.5cm L/48 is the late war anti-tank cannon. The video is showing early Panzer IVs with L/24 infantry support cannons

Never get bored of these videos. Always felt a connection with ww2 events and that's why I love watching historical footage from back then. If I believed in reincarnation, I would be sure that I lived during those times and was a soldier, maybe a tank crewman. But as it is, I don't really have an explanation for it 6:53 is that a "Christmas tree "? If so, that's kinda sad lol

[@라데츠키-i8o]

It was not a best tank. But they did their job.

[@jakobc.2558]

Oh for 1940 they absolutely were some of the best. Dont let the pictured or them being taken apart by PTRS AT rifles decive you. The early Panzer 4 had something which almost no other tank of their time had: the 3 man turret. It allows for specialisation. The gunner can gun, the loader can load and the commander can command. Even the T-34s which we think are supirior actualy lost many fights against the early short barreld Pz.IV simply because the early T-34s had 2 men turrets which meant that the commander also had to load the gun. This resulted in the tank having practicaly no situational awareness and panzer IVs would most of the time be the once to shoot first. The tank which shoots first in a fight is usualy the one which wins since even a shot which failed to penetrate will terrorise the crew inside. Also if you shoot something enough times it will break eventualy. Interestingly enough the germans somehow knew this when designing their early tanks but forgot it in the later stages of the war. Panthers and Tigers which had no rotating periscopes at all and the gunner only had his main gun sight which was always zoomed would be regularly loosing fights to Shermans with faster turret traverse, gyroscopic stabilisors, rotating periscopes for the entire crew and commanders overwrite.
