Tiger I
Number built—1, 347
In response to the T-34 after the invasion of the Soviet Union, the German forces ordered the construction of a new heavy tank. Designated as the Panzerkampfwagen VI, it was christened "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche. The tank had formidable firepower (the 88 mm anti-tank gun) and thick armor. It had some mechanical problems due to its weight. The Tiger had 100 mm of armor on the front of the hull and turret, while the sides had 80mm of armor. Armor was weakest on the rear of the turret. Americans and British tank forces first encountered the German Tiger I in North Africa, where it outclassed the British Churchills and American M4 Shermans.

Leichttraktor

The VK.31 Leichttraktor ("Light tractor") was an experimental German light fighting tank developed in the 1920s under secret conditions. Only four were produced and they were used in the late 1930s and the early part of the war for training purposes.

Panzerkampfwagen I (PzKpfw I)

Main article: Panzer I
The Panzer I (Sd. Kfz. 101) was not intended as a combat vehicle, but more to familiarise industry and the army with tanks. By the time production had ended in 1937, a total of 1, 867 Panzer I hulls had been produced, of which 1, 493 were fitted with turrets, and the rest used as command or training vehicles.

Variants and vehicles using hull:

Panzerjäger I, a Czech 4, 7cm KPÚV vz. 38 anti-tank gun on Panzer I Ausf.B chassis
Sturmpanzer I ("Bison"), a 150 mm heavy infantry gun on Panzer I Ausf.B chassis
Flakpanzer I, a 2cm Flak 38 anti-aircraft cannon on Panzer I Ausf.A chassis
kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen, an armoured command vehicle on Panzer I Ausf.B chassis
Panzerkampfwagen II (PzKpfw II)

Main article: Panzer II
The Panzer II (Sd. Kfz. 121) was a light tank designed to replace the Panzer I. It was armed with a 20 mm cannon, which had some capability against other armoured vehicles. Before the war started, 1, 223 had been built.

Variants:

PzKpfw II Flamm, (Sd. Kfz. 122), Flamingo
flamethrower tank (Ausfuhrung A and B)
Luchs
Light reconnaissance tank
Marder II
7.5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank gun on Panzer II chassis (Sd. Kfz. 131)
Marder II
captured Russian 76.2 mm anti-tank gun on Panzer II Ausf. D/E chassis (Sd. Kfz. 132)
Wespe
105 mm light field howitzer on Panzer II chassis (Sd. Kfz. 124)
Panzer 35(t)
Edit
Main article: Panzer 35(t)
In March 1939, Germany occupied and annexed the Bohemia and Moravia region of Czechoslovakia taking over the Czech arms manufacturing industries. The Czech LT-35 tank was given the German designation Panzer 35(t), with "t" standing for tschechisch (the German word for Czech).

Panzer 38(t)

Also known as: PzKpfw 38(t), Panzer 38(t), Sd. Kfz. 140
In March 1939, Germany invaded Czech territory and took over the Czech arms manufacturing industries. The Czech LT-38 tank, then in production, was produced for German use as the Panzer 38(t) ("t" standing for tschechisch, German for Czech). By the start of the war, 78 Panzer 38(t) tanks had been produced.

Germany continued producing the Panzer 38(t) during the war. By early 1942, it was clearly obsolete. However, the production lines were already running, the vehicle was mechanically reliable, and the factory would have had difficulty moving over to larger tanks, so it was decided to find other uses for the Panzer 38(t) chassis for self-propelled guns.

Variants:

Marder 138 (Marder III) = 75 mm Pak 40 gun on Panzer 38(t) chassis (Sd. Kfz. 138)
Marder 139 (Marder III)= captured Russian 76.2 mm gun on Panzer 38(t) chassis (Sd. Kfz. 139)
Grille = 150 mm heavy infantry gun on Panzer 38(t) chassis (Sd.Kfz. 138/1)
Jagdpanzer 38 = 75 mm L/48 Pak39 gun on a widened Pz 38(t) chassis
Flakpanzer 38(t) = 2cm FlaK self-propelled anti-aircraft gun on Panzer 38(t) chassis (Sd. Kfz. 140)
Panzer III
Edit
Also known as: PzKpfw III, 'Panzer III', Sd. Kfz. 141
The Panzer III was designed as a medium tank, with a high-velocity 37 mm gun. Pre-war production was 98 vehicles. During the war, the Pz III was upgunned to a 50 mm L/42 gun, then to an even higher velocity 50 mm L/60 gun, in order to improve its anti-tank performance. A low-velocity 75 mm gun was also fitted (using the same mount as the early Panzer IV), but since the tank was not large enough to fit a high-velocity 75 mm gun, production was halted mid-war, although the chassis continued to be used to build assault guns.

The Panzer III was the first tank to have a 3-man turret: the commander did not have to double up as a loader or a gunner, so he could concentrate on commanding the tank.

Variants:

Panzer III A-F= armed with 37 mm L/45 gun
Panzer III F-M = armed with 50 mm L/42 or L/60 gun
Panzer III N = armed with 75 mm L/24 gun, used for Infantry support
Panzer III (f) = armed with flamethrower
Sturmgeschütz III = Sturmgeschütz 40= Assault Gun armed with 75 mm L/24 (A-E), later with L/43 (F) and L/48 gun (F8 & G) (Sd. Kfz. 142)
StuH 42 = Sturmhaubitze 42. StuG III with 105 mm light field howitzer (Sd. Kfz. 142/2)
Panzer IV

Also known as: PzKpfw IV, 'Panzer IV', Sd. Kfz. 161
Panzer IV was designed alongside the Panzer III. The Panzer IV was a slightly larger and heavier tank, and with its large calibre low velocity gun, it was designed to support the Panzer III when it met heavy resistance from infantry support. Pre-war production was 211 tanks. Originally armed with a low-velocity 75 mm L/24 gun, in 1942 this was upgraded to a 75 mm L/43 gun, and 1943 to a 75 mm L/48 gun.

Variants:

Panzer IV A-F1 = Panzer IV with 75 mm L/24 gun
Panzer IV F2-J = Panzer IV with 75 mm L/43 or L/48 gun
Sturmgeschütz IV = Assault Gun. Superstructure of Sturmgeschütz III on Panzer IV chassis; armed with 75 mm L/48 gun (Sd. Kfz. 167)
Jagdpanzer IV = Tank Destroyer with 75 mm L/48, later L/70, gun on Panzer IV chassis (Sd. Kfz. 162)
Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär with 150 mm field howitzer on Panzer IV chassis (Sd. Kfz. 166
on Geschützwagen III/IV chassis (Sd. Kfz. 165)

Panzerkampfwagen V "Panther"
Edit
Main articles: Panther tank and List of Panzer V variants
The Panther, also known as "PzKpfw V", "Panzer V", and Sd. Kfz. 171, was a medium tank of the German Army in the second part of World War II. Until 1944, it was designated as the PzKpfw V Panther. The production Panther was a direct response to the Soviet T-34, after encountering difficulties fighting the T-34, Colonel General Heinz Guderian (the "Inspector of Panzer Troops") suggested simply copying the T-34; although the report of the enquiry recommended that the main attributes of the T-34 - armament, sloped armor and suspension - be incorporated into a new German medium weight tank under the Vollketten 30 project. Two proposals - by Daimler-Benz and Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg (MAN) - were examined and the MAN design selected for production.

Variants:

Panther Ausf. D - first production version, armed with 75 mm KwK 42 L/70 gun. 842 built
Panther Ausf. A - second production version, improved Ausf. D, 2, 200 built
Panther Ausf. G - additional armour, approx 2, 900 built
Jagdpanther - a Jagdpanzer (tank destroyer) design with an 88 mm L/71 PaK 43 gun on Panzer V chassis (Sd. Kfz. 173)
Panther Ausf. F - a Panther development with narrow front Schmalturm turret, none built
Bergepanther = an armoured recovery vehicle, 339 build
