Default Re: Panzer IV

Nice Pic Mate...I really like this one.

It is officially known as a:
Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf D (Sd Kfz 161)

The "D" designation is the model, hence the Ausf D.
Ausf = Ausfuhrung or Model, Mark or Design.

There were 10 different models of the Pz Kpfw IV not including variants: Ausf A, B, C, D, E, F1, F2, G, H and J.

Best Regards, fischer

Hi Stewy, great shot. Is there any writing on the back side?

Thanks mate and, rats ;-)) I was hoping for a chance to do some research while I am stuck all alone on Gilligans Island ;-)) Superb shot none the less. Somewhere in Western Europe (or Central Europe) for sure-and at least that's something to go on ;-))

Nice pic
BTW Some recent books state the F2 was redesignated G mid way along it's production without any major changes, though there were lots of minor changes during the 75L43 armed Pz IV production run.
