 Subject:  Re: Pz.IV ausf B/C chassis?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jun 26, 2008

One more thing.

There are examples of Pz.IV ausf D or later chassis which have more vanes than standard chassis. They are rare, but they exist. So, the number of vanes alone cannot be the key feature to identify ausf B/C chassis.

I guess these are local modification of some sort.

Example are:

1. Some Wirbelwind, such as the one on page 21 of Nuts&Bolts vol.13. Wirbelwind preserved in Rendsburg also has this feature.

2. An ausf E mit Vorpanzer. The photo can be seen on page 60 in History File No.3, Panzer IV, Auriga Publishing, page 53 and 55 in Panzertruppen, Lee Archer.
