This is the picture of a Panzer IV tank, shot in France.
The Panzerkampfwagen IV (PzKpfw IV), known as the Panzer IV, was a medium tank from the late 30s used extensively during the World War II.
The Panzer IV was the most widely manufactured German tank of the War. Its chassis was the base for many other vehicles, like the Sturmgeschütz IV assault gun or the Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer.
The Panzer IV fought in all combat theaters involving Germany and was the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout the war. It suffered several upgrades and modifications.
The Panzer IV was partially replaced by the Panther, introduced to counter the Soviet T-34.
After the war, Syria procured Panzer IVs from France and Czechoslovakia, which saw combat in the 1967 Six-Day War. 8,553 Panzer IVs were built during World War II, with only the StuG III exceeding the Panzer IV's total among Axis armored forces.
