The Volkettenfahrzeuge 4502 (Porsche) Ausf. B, or VK4502 (P) Ausf. B, was an experimental German heavy tank designed by Porsche in 1942. It was based on the previous VK4501(P) design. Initially it was proposed that the chassis design for the VK4502 (P) could be adopted from the VK4501 (P) with minimum modifications. The tank was supposed to have a maximum speed of 35 km/h and weigh around 45 tonnes. The turret for the VK4502 was also designed by Porsche.
In 1942, a production contract for 100 VK4502 armour shells and 100 turrets was given to Fried Kruppe AG Essen. Kruppe planned to begin the production after completing 100 VK4501 hulls. Later Krupp was asked to complete only 30 Type 180 hulls. However, the project took a serious setback when the Porsche's 101/3 engine failed during the testing.
The contracts for the VK4502 hulls and turrets were terminated. By January 1943, Krupp had already manufactured 20 armour turret bodies for the VK4502 and around 40 to 50 were under construction at the time of cancellation. Krupp then got the permission to assemble three operational turrets for the VK4502. Porsche confirmed that three Tiger P2 VK4502 with electric drives were being completed at the Nibelungwerk. New vehicles were supposed to feature new hydraulic drives, a new suspension system and an air-cooled diesel engine. However, nothing more was heard about the fate of the VK4502 until April 1944 when Krupp reported that one of the turrets was completed and the other two were close to completion. In August 1944 the remaining turrets were converted for use on the Henschel chassis.

The Saurer company started to develop the vehicle in 1936 as an artillery tractor for the Austrian army. The first tractors were produced in 1938. About 12 vehicles were made prior to Anschluss (incorporation of Austria into Nazi Germany, March 1938). After the Anschluss production continued. A total of 140 units were built with the new designation RK-7 (Räder-Kettenfahrgestell), although Wehrmacht called them Sd. Kfz. 254. The vehicle had a wheel/track layout and a diesel motor. The wheels were lowered when it was used on roads and retracted for cross-country movement. Some Sd. Kfz. 254's served as artillery observation vehicles for the Afrika Korps after being fitted with a radio and rail antenna.

The T-24 was a Soviet medium tank produced at the KhPZ factory (Kharkiv Locomotive Factory, Ukraine) in 1931. It had a 45mm main gun, a ball-mount 7.62mm DT machine gun in the hull, and two more guns in the turret and in the secondary turret. The vehicle was considered well-armoured for its time, but it had problems with the engine and transmission. Due to these problems the T-24 was found unreliable. Only 24 tanks were built, and they were used only for training and parades. However, this failure gave the KhPZ factory production experience which was applied later in adopting production of the U.S. Christie tank as the BT tank series.

The T-26 was a Soviet light infantry tank based on the British Vickers 6-Ton tank designed by the Vickers-Armstrongs company in 1928-1929. The T-26 was one of the most successful tanks of its time. More than 11,000 T-26's were manufactured in the 1930s. The USSR developed more than 50 different variants and experimental vehicles based on the T-26 chassis, with 23 variants going into series production.
The T-26 was used by the Red Army since 1932. It saw combat in many conflicts of the 1930s and during the Second World War. Along with the BT, the T-26 was considered the main tank of the Red Army during the interwar period. The T-26 saw action in the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet-Japanese border conflict, and the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. In 1941 it could withstand most German tanks, but was inferior to the Panzer III and Panzer IV participating in Operation Barbarossa. The T-26 was then gradually replaced by the superior T-34. The remaining T-26's participated in the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of the Caucasus.

One of them was the OT-130 (KhT-130), a flamethrower tank with a 45mm gun turret. Around 12% of all T-26 light tanks were flame-throwing tanks.
The abbreviation "OT" (Ognemetniy Tank, Flame-throwing Tank) was adopted only in the post-war period. Initially these tanks were called "KhT" (Khimicheskiy Tank, Chemical Tank) and were intended for chemical contamination, creating smoke screens and flame throwing.

Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. F, also known as VK.18.01, was as different from the Ausf. C as it was from the Ausf. A and B. The Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. F was originally designed as an infantry support tank. It had a maximum armour thickness of 80mm (3.15 in) and weighed between 18 and 21 tonnes. To compensate for the increased weight, the Ausf. F had a new 110 kW Maybach HL45 Otto engine installed, allowing a maximum road speed of 25 km/h (15.5 mph). The Ausf. F was armed with two 7.92mm MG-34's. In 1940-1941, thirty Ausf. F's were produced, and the second order was cancelled. Eight of these tanks were sent to the 1st Panzer Division in 1943 and saw combat in the Battle of Kursk. The rest were given to several army schools for training and evaluation purposes.

Initially the Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F was a Czech tank designed before WW2. Its military designation was LT vz. 38 (Lehký tank vzor 38, Light Tank model 38). When Germany took over Czechoslovakia, the tank was adopted by the German Army and saw service in Poland, France and Russia. The (t) stands for 'tschechisch', the German word for Czech.
Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F had a 3.7cm main gun and a 125hp engine allowing it to move at 42km/h. Over 1400 tanks were manufactured, until in 1942 production ended due to inadequate armament. The chassis continued to be produced for the Marder III, and some of the tank's components were used in the later Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyers, turretless assault guns, as well as anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns.

The Panzer I Ausf. C had nothing in common with either Ausf. A or B except for the name. It was designed by Krauss-Maffei and Daimler-Benz in 1939 to serve as an armed reconnaissance light tank. The Panzer I Ausf. C had a completely new chassis and turret, a modern torsion-bar suspension and five interleaved roadwheels. The Ausf. C's maximum armour thickness of 30mm (1.18 in) was over twice as much as that of the Ausf. A or B. Overall forty Ausf. C's were produced, along with six prototypes. Two tanks were deployed to the 1st Panzer Division in 1943, and the other thirty-eight were used by the LVIII Panzer Reserve Corps during the Normandy landings.

The Soviet truck KrAZ-255B entered production in 1965, and full series production started in 1967. KrAZ stood for Kremenchutskyi Avtomobilnyi Zavod (Kremenchuk Automobile Plant), a Ukrainian factory which produced these trucks. The KrAZ-255B had a revised braking system and was intended to replace the earlier KrAZ-214 truck. It had some visual similarities with the earlier KrAZ-214 but had a more powerful engine. Other design improvements included a hydraulic steering booster instead of the pneumatic booster of the KrAZ-214, and the standard 14.00-20 tyres of the KrAZ-214 were substituted by the new wide section pressure adjustable tires with a centralised tire inflation system controlled by the driver directly from the cab. In 1976 the KrAZ-255B was equipped with a new dual-circuit braking system to replace the single circuit system, and such vehicles were given the revised KrAZ-255B (B1) designation. Overall from 1967 till 1994 around 82,000 KrAZ-255B's were produced.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a light four-wheel drive armoured car produced by Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1944. It had the standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis and a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, which give it a road speed of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h. The car had a maximum range of 300 km.
Used by the reconnaissance battalions of the Panzer divisions, the Leichter Panzerspähwagen performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like Western Europe. However, on the Eastern Front and in North Africa these vehicles were hampered by their relatively poor off-road performance, and were gradually replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

Following the success of the 15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33 in Stalingrad, Panzer IV chassis was used to develop the next Sturmpanzer, an armoured infantry support gun. Production started in May 1943 and continued until March 1945. Allied intelligence called this tank Brummbar ("Grouch"), but the Germans didn't use this name. The Brummbär was used in the Battles of Kursk, Anzio, Normandy, and Warsaw Uprising. Overall around 300 vehicles were built.
The Sturmpanzer IV had the StuH 43 L/12 gun which could fire both high explosive and shaped charge rounds. However, the high gross weight and massive armoured structure overloaded the Panzer IV chassis. It made the entire vehicle overweight and inclined to front. The tank was underpowered and suffered from transmission failures.
The Sturmpanzer IV had many variations. The tank's superstructure and the StuH 43 gun were successively modified to fix the flaws based on frontline reports and comments.

The German Panzerkampfwagen V Panther (or Panzer V) was deployed on the Eastern and Western Fronts from mid 1943 till the end of the war in 1945. It was primarily intended to counter the Soviet T-34 and substitute the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. Where the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther is generally considered to be the most well-known German tank of WW2, the Panther and the Soviet T-34/85 are considered to be the best all-round tanks of their time. The variations or models are Panther Ausf. A, Panther Ausf. D, Panther Ausf. G, Panther Ausf. F. There is also a considerable quantity of modified models such as maintenance or air defense tanks.

The Ausführung A (or Ausf. A, "Variant A"), built in 1936, was the first mass-produced version of Panzer IV. It had the Maybach's HL 108TR engine, producing 250 PS (183.87 kW), and used the SGR 75 transmission with five forward gears and one reverse gear. Ausf. A achieved a maximum road speed of 31 kilometres per hour (19.26 mph). Its main armament was a short-barreled Kampfwagenkanone 37 L/24 (KwK 37 L/24) 75mm (2.95 in) tank gun, which was primarily designed to fire high-explosive shells.
The KwK 37 fired Panzergranate (armor-piercing shell) at 430 metres per second (1,410 ft/s) and could penetrate 43mm (1.69 in) at ranges of up to 700 metres (2,300 ft). The Ausf. A was protected by a 14.5mm (0.57 in) steel armour on the front plate of the chassis, and 20mm (0.79 in) on the turret. This armour could only stop artillery fragments, small-arms fire, and light anti-tank projectiles. Only 35 Ausf. A's were built, and in 1937 production moved to the Ausf. B.

The German Panzerkampfwagen IV (or Panzer IV) was a medium tank developed in 1930s. It was the only German tank continuously produced throughout the war, and the most widely exported German tank. Over 8,800 Panzer IV's were produced between 1936 and 1945.
The Ausf. C was introduced in 1938. Due to the increased turret armour (30mm), the tank's weight went up from 16 to 18.14 tonnes. After assembling forty Ausf. C's, the tank's engine was replaced with the improved HL 120TRM.
From October 1938 to August 1939, 134 Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. C's were produced, and production moved to the Ausf. D. In August 1939, six of the 3.Serie/B.W. chassis were assembled and converted into bridge-laying tanks.

The Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WW2. The last official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger ("Bengal Tiger"), often translated as King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied troops.
The Tiger II was the successor of the Tiger I, adding the Tiger I's thick armour with the sloped armour used on the Panther tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes, it was protected by 100 - 180mm (3.9 to 7.1 inches) of armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun.
The Tiger II was developed late in the war and built in relatively small numbers, with only 1500 Tiger II's actually ordered — this was marginally higher than the 1,347 of the earlier Tiger I tanks actually produced — but the Tiger II production was severely disrupted by Allied bombing.
The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger tank destroyer.

In the 1920s and 1930s several European armies favoured the concept of large, multi-turreted tanks. Designs for such tanks existed in Britain, France, and Germany. However, it was the Soviet T-35 that became the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production. The T-35 was a heavy tank of the interwar period and early World War II. The tank was large, but inside spaces were cramped with the fighting compartments separated from each other. The T-35 turned out to be slow and mechanically unreliable, and during Operation Barbarossa 90% of the T-35's were lost due to mechanical failures rather than enemy actions. From 1935 till 1940 the T-35 was used primarily for parade duties.

Following the success of the 15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33 in Stalingrad, Panzer IV chassis was used to develop the next Sturmpanzer, an armoured infantry support gun. Production started in May 1943 and continued until March 1945. Allied intelligence called this tank Brummbar ("Grouch"), but the Germans didn't use this name. The Brummbär was used in the Battles of Kursk, Anzio, Normandy, and Warsaw Uprising. Overall around 300 vehicles were built.
The Sturmpanzer IV had the StuH 43 L/12 gun which could fire both high explosive and shaped charge rounds. However, the high gross weight and massive armoured structure overloaded the Panzer IV chassis. It made the entire vehicle overweight and inclined to front. The tank was underpowered and suffered from transmission failures.
The Sturmpanzer IV had many variations. The tank's superstructure and the StuH 43 gun were successively modified to fix the flaws based on frontline reports and comments.

For the Operation Sea Lion, the planned invasion of the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain, the Commander of the Army originally requested 180 underwater tanks. 42 Panzer IV Ausf.D's, as well as some Pz.III's and StuG III's, were converted into the Tauchpanzer ("diving tank"). All the openings were covered with rubber sheeting, and the turret ring was protected by inflatable rubber ring. The exhausts were fitted with non-return valves. The driver’s visor was made watertight by special metal cover with a visor block. Air was supplied via a flexible 18-meter hose held on the surface by a buoy. Tauchpanzers could submerge to a depth of about 15 meters, and had the maximum underwater speed of 3 mph. After the Operation was given up, almost all the vehicles were assigned to the 18th Panzer Division and some were used during the River Bug crossing in Operation Barbarossa.

The German Panzerkampfwagen IV (or Panzer IV) was a medium tank developed in 1930s. It was the only German tank continuously produced throughout the war, and the most widely exported German tank. Over 8,800 Panzer IV's were produced between 1936 and 1945.
The production of Panzer IV Ausf. B started in 1937. The original engine was substituted with the more powerful Maybach HL 120TR (220.65 kW). The tank also had the new SSG 75 transmission, with six forward gears and one reverse gear. The Ausf. B's speed increased to 39 km/h.
Only forty-two Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. B's were completed, and in 1938 production moved to the Ausf. C.
