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