24-ton medium tank Pz.Kpfw. IV in its final Ausf.J intermediate production version with Schürtzen armored skirts built between 1944 and 1945. The Panzer IV was the main workhorse of the German army developed in the late 1930’s. It was the German tank produced in the largest number (8,500 units produced until 1945) and most widely used on all fronts until the end of the war. Nine different versions were designed for tanks and served as armored platform for other weapons such as assault guns, tank-hunters, and self-propelled and anti-aircraft artillery.
