The Panzer IV was deployed for the entire duration of WW2 by the
Wehrmacht and benefited from frequent updates. It acquired the status of
being known as the “backbone” of the Panzer Divisions on all operational
fronts. The Panzer IV Ausf H which came into service from mid-1943, was
improved in its offensive capability by the adoption of the 75 mm L / 48
KwK 40 cannon, which was characterized by greater penetrative capability
and overall general effectiveness against enemy armoured vehicles. A
technical innovation entitled Schürzen, was applied to the tank design
which afforded additional sheet metal protection to the sides of the
hull and around the turret. This in turn provided greater protection
against enemy hits and reduced damage to the Panzer. This addition of
further side protection was often linked to the use of Zimmerit, a cement-based paste that was applied to the armour.
