Panzer
II Ausf. G (PzKpfw IIG)
| Specifications |
| The fourth and final suspension configuration used
for the Panzer II tanks was the five overlapping road wheel configuration termed
Schachtellaufwerk by the Germans. This was used as the basis for the redesign
of the Panzer II into a reconnaissance tank with high speed and good off-road
performance. The Ausf. G was the first Panzer II to use this configuration, and
was developed with the experimental designation VK901. There is no record of the
Ausf. G being issued to combat units, and only twelve full vehicles were built
from April 1941 to February 1942 by MAN. The turrets were subsequently issued
for use in fortifications. |
