Panzer
IV Ausf E
The
Panzer IV was the most numerous German tank and
the second-most numerous German fully tracked armoured
fighting vehicle of the Second World War;
8,553 Panzer IVs of all versions were built during World War II, only
exceeded by the StuG III assault
gun with 10,086 vehicles.
In
October 1940, the Ausf. E was introduced. This had 30 millimetres
(1.18 in) of armour on the bow plate, while a 30-millimetre (1.18 in)
appliqué steel plate was added to the glacis as an interim measure. A new
driver's visor, adopted from the Sturmgeschütz III was
installed on the hull front plate. A new commander's cupola, adopted
from the Panzer III Ausf. G, was relocated forward on the turret
eliminating the bulge underneath the cupola. Older
model Panzer IV tanks were retrofitted with these features when returned
to the manufacturer for servicing. 206 Ausf. Es were produced between
October 1940 and April 1941.
