Panzer IV
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.
With emphasis on detail this book from the Spielberger series shows in factory, test and combat photographs, and detailed line drawings, all production models, prototypes and modifications of the Panzer IV tank. Covers also all variations, including all vehicles that used the Panzer IV chassis.
Panzerkampwagen IV and its Variants 1935-1945 (Book 2)
This book is the final documentation on the Panzerkampfwagen IV series, the most often-built German tank of World War II and presents the exact chronology of the vehicle's development from 1935-45, plus many hitherto unknown and pioneering test vehicles. The authors discuss the origin of the “Large Tractor”, the so-called Neubau (New-Built) Vehicle and the attempts in 1944 to install the 7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 42 L/70 of the “Panther” onto the Panzer IV. The authors have dedicated an entire chapter to armament, and action in all war theaters.

Panzerkampfwagen IV : The Backbone of Germanys WWII Tank Forces
Der von 1937 bis zum Kriegsende produzierte Panzerkampfwagen IV wurde anfangs nur in geringen Stückzahlen hergestellt, aber schliesslich mit 8500 Exemplaren der meistgebaute deutsche Panzer. Mit kurzer Kanone war er ursprünglich als Unterstützungsfahrzeug gedacht, jedoch änderte sich sein Einsatzspektrum mit dem Einbau einer langen Kanone grundlegend. Er war in der zweiten Kriegshälfte der wichtigste deutsche Panzer.
Mit Fotos, Risszeichnungen und technischen Daten dokumentierte Panzer-Experte Walter J. Spielberger die Prototypen-Entwicklung, die verschiedenen Entwürfe sowie die Serienausfertigungen. Angereichert mit über 40 neuen Bildern.
