The PzKpfw II (Panzerkampfwagen II) stands as a notable German light tank from the Second World War. Its inception dates back to 1934 with the creation of the first prototypes, followed by a production run spanning 1935 to 1944, resulting in approximately 1,850 units manufactured. The initial variant, known as the 'A' version, featured a Maybach HL 57 TR engine producing 130 horsepower. This tank was armed with a 20mm KwK 30 gun and a 7.92mm MG 34 machine gun, both situated within its turret.
The genesis of the PzKpfw II can be traced back to a competition initiated by the German Armaments Bureau, seeking a light tank under 10 tons with a 20mm gun. The victors of this contest were MAN in collaboration with Daimler-Benz. The commencement of serial production in 1935 marked the beginning of a diverse range of PzKpfw II tank variants. The chronology starts with the 'A' version, albeit produced in relatively limited quantities. Subsequently, the 'B' version emerged, featuring an upgraded engine and modified chassis. By 1937, the 'C' version had been introduced, incorporating substantial changes to the chassis and reinforced frontal hull armor.
In late 1940, the 'F' version came into existence, boasting enhanced armor and an improved gearbox compared to the 'C' version. The year 1942 witnessed the introduction of the 'L' ("Luchs") version, which featured a completely new chassis, a more potent 180 horsepower engine, and a substantial increase in its maximum speed from 40 km/h to 60 km/h. The versatile PzKpfw II chassis also served as the foundation for various other vehicles, including the Wespe self-propelled howitzer and the Marder II tank destroyer.
These PzKpfw II tanks played roles across almost all fronts of World War II, with a shift towards secondary tasks beginning in 1942.
