Description

The Panzer II was a light tank produced by the Germans in the interwar period and used by them in World War II.

The Panzer II was, during the first years of the war, the main battle tank of the Wehrmacht and the spearhead of its armored units. Despite its low protection (15 mm) and weak armament, with only a 20 mm gun, it was a compact and reliable vehicle, which proved to be very effective in the hands of well-trained crews with clear tactical doctrines (Blitzkrieg).
