| Notes | Once Panzer Mk. III production had ended, the need for command tanks had to be fulfilled by changing to Panzer Mk. IV. The Mk. IV was still being issued in large numbers and converting models into Panzerbefehlswagens began in late 1944. The Pz.Bef.Wg IV was issued to Panzer Mk. IV battalions and served until the end of the war. |
