Panzerfähre Gepanzerte Landwasserschlepper Prototype Nr.1

The Panzerfähre utilised the chassis of the Pz Kpfw IV tank. Development of the Panzerfähre began in early 1941. The fully tracked vehicle was lightly armoured and it had a boat-like bow and a propeller at the stern. Its main function was to act as a vehicle for combat supply on land and in water. It could tow an amphibious trailer, or alternatively it could work in tandem with another Panzerfähre as a floating platform or ferry capable of carrying a 24-ton load.
