Historical Description & Use

The Pz.Sfl.IVb le.FH.18/1 self-propelled gun was based on a modified Pz.Kpfw.IV chassis as an experimental Wehrmacht vehicle. This unique self-propelled gun was designed as artillery support for mechanized units. The project used the base hull plate of the Panzer IV tank, on which a 10.5 cm leFH 18/1 (cal. 105 mm) howitzer was mounted. The vehicle existed in only a handful of prototype examples, which saw action during the early years of World War II, including operations on the Western Front and the Balkans campaign. Although the Pz.Sfl.IVb was never put into mass production, its experimental use significantly influenced the development of later self-propelled artillery platforms.
