IV/70(V), Military Chronicle SUMMARY Tank destroyer Pz.lV/70(V) The Pz.lV/70(V) tank destroyer became one of the last production models of the Third Reich's armour. Despite it was a typical wartime ersatz-weapon, this example embodied in its design quite a number of innovative solutions that were later widely used in development of armoured vehicles by the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain and France. This book describes the development and employment of the Pz.lV/70(V) tank destroyer. In addition to 110 photographs of the Pz.lV/70(V) in combat and drawing of the example displayed at the Kubinka tank museum, there are drawings of the primary production versions of the Pz.lV/70(V) tank destroyer as well as color pictures of its camouflage pattern. 58 MCB03 Operation "Barbarossa".
