History and Use of the Original

Pzkpfw IV Ausf.F2, also designated as Sd.Kfz.161, appeared on the front in 1942 as an upgraded version of the already proven PzKpfw IV tank. The greatest innovation in the F2 version was the use of the long-barreled 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/43 gun, which significantly improved its combat effectiveness compared to earlier versions with a short-barreled cannon. The F2 took part in the largest armored operations during World War II—from the battles on the Russian steppes to the African campaign with the Afrika Korps. This tank was the backbone of the German armored forces until the end of the war.
