All Panzerkampfwagen IV A to D mounted the shortbarrelled 7.5cm KwK L/24. The PzKpfw IV Ausf F (later F1) mounted a 7.5cm KwK L/43, but neither gun was powerful enough (except at close range) to defeat the more modern Soviet tanks entering combat. Here pioneers load a damaged Ausf D on a Sonderanhänger (SdAnh) 116, the standard lowloading recovery trailer used by all tank units.
