Product Description

The Panzer II was a 10-ton light tank used by Germany from the interwar period to the early stages of World War II.
In preparation for rearmament, the German army began production of the 5-ton Panzer I tank in 1934. However, this tank was too small for training purposes, and since it was only equipped with a machine gun, it was not possible to conduct full-scale target practice.
As a result, in 1934 the 6th Section of the German Army Weapons Office requested the submission of development design documents from Krupp, Henschel, and MAN.
After comparing the proposals of the three companies, MAN's was selected and a prototype was completed in 1935. This was followed by the Ausf. A, the Ausf. B with thicker armor, and the Ausf. C with changes to the suspension and engine.
- In July 1937, the first mass-produced model, the A-type, equipped with an improved engine and transmission based on the C-type, was produced, followed by the B-type in December 1937 and the C-type in June 1938.
A total of 1,088 A, B, and C models were produced by April 1940, and in October 1938, while production was still in progress, they were given the official name Panzer II (Sd.Kfz.121).
