The PzKpfw IV, commonly called the Panzer IV, was one of the key tanks used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. The Tropenpanzer version was adapted for combat in the harsh conditions of the North African desert—a theater of operations known as the Afrika Korps (Deutsches Afrikakorps). These tanks were characterized by features such as appropriate air filtration and modified equipment to cope with heat and sand. They were most actively used in battles against the Allies from 1941 to 1943 on the North African front, including in the battles of El Alamein.
