Notes | The Panzer Mk. II was designed as a support tank to the lighter machine gun armed Panzer Mk. I. it mounted a 20mm canon and coaxial MG34. The first model ausf A was built in three versions, with each having different modifications added in the process. These three early models were virtually identical and the lessons learned were later incorporated into the Ausf B. by early 1936 enough Mk. IIs were built for them to be able to equip a platoon sized unit in every panzer company. |
