The Panzerkampfwagen IV

  More commonly referred to as the Panzer IV, was a tank developed by Germany and used extensively in World War II. It was designed initially as an infantry-support medium tank (Begleitwagen, mittlerer Panzer), to work in conjunction with the Pzkpfw III which was supposed to engage enemy armor. Later in the war, it was up-gunned and up-armored, and took over the tank-fighting role while Panzer IIIs were either put into infantry support duties or converted into other vehicles. The Panzer IV was the most common German tank of World War II, and was used as the base for many other fighting vehicles, such as tank destroyers and flak platforms. The Panzer IV has the distinction of being the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout all of WWII, with over 9,000 produced from 1939 to 1945.
