Panzer II Ausf A / B / C / F / Beobachtungswagen

Light Tank

 The Panzer II is the common name used for a family of German tanks used in World War II.  The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen II (abbreviated PzKpfw II).

Although the vehicle had originally been designed as a stopgap while larger, more advanced tanks were developed, it nonetheless went on to play an important role in the early years of World War II, during the Polish and French campaigns.  The Panzer II was the most numerous tank in the German Panzer divisions at the beginning of the war.  It was used both in North Africa against the Western Allies and on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union.

The Panzer II was supplanted by the Panzer III and IV medium tanks by 1940/1941.  By the end of 1942, it had been largely removed from front line service and it was used for training and on secondary fronts.  The turrets of the then-obsolete Panzer Is and Panzer IIs were reused as gun turrets on specially built defensive bunkers, particularly on the Atlantic Wall.  Production of the tank itself ceased by January 1944, but its chassis remained in use as the basis of several other armoured vehicles, chiefly self-propelled artillery and tank destroyers such as the Wespe and Marder II respectively.  By October 1944, about 386 Panzer II were in operation (survivors of previous campaigns), and by March 1945, there were about 145 Panzer II still active.  Between 1934 and January 1944, a total of 1,856 units produced, excluding conversions.
