[About the actual vehicle]
-During World War II, the tanks that gained high trust among German soldiers were the Pz.Kpfw.161 and Panzer IV.
――Production started in 1936, and since the car body was designed with plenty of room from the beginning, many improvements and enhancements were continued according to the war situation without changing the basic dimensions, and about 8,500 cars were produced.
――It was operated throughout the entire period from the beginning of the war to the end of the war.
――Among them, the J type was the final production type.
――The difference from the previous H-type successor type is not so much an improvement as it is a simplified type, such as simplifying equipment, facilitating production, and reducing fuel consumption.
――The biggest difference was that the auxiliary engine for power generation of the turret turning motor power supply was abolished and became manual.
――It was produced from June 1944 to March 1945, and continued to fight hard until the end of the war on each front.
