WWII Tanks & Artillery in WW2: Panzer IV Heavy Tank

In continuous production from 1936 until 1945, and designed originally as a heavy support tank for the lighter Mark III, the Panzer IV became one of the key instruments of the Blitzkrieg victories, in the early war years.

The heavily armored Panzer IV, the secret to the Nazis' quick victories in battle, was enormous and imposing while impressive in its speed. The German army depended upon it from 1936 until 1945, and this documentary explores the tank's evolution and shows it in use via combat footage.
