[The curtain opens for the Battle of Africa] Among the Panzer IV tanks that supported the German army during the Second World War, the F-type was the last model equipped with a 7.5 cm short-barreled cannon. In addition to improved protection compared to the previous model (E-type), it also introduced wider tracks to accommodate the increased weight of the vehicle. From May 1941 to February 1942, 470 vehicles were produced, primarily deployed on the Eastern Front and the North African front. Among them, the vehicles sent to North Africa fought tenaciously against heavily armored Allied tanks such as the British Matilda. It gained the trust of the soldiers.
