Brückenleger IVc (mostný tank) : Germany (DEU)

After the experiences during the German Panzer Divisions' campaigns in Belgium, the Netherlands and France in 1940, the production of the bridge tank on the Brückenleger IVb platform was cancelled on 3 June 1940. However, an improved version, referred to as the Brückenleger IVc, was ordered.
In 1/1941, four Brückenleger IVc bridge tanks were completed at Krupp. The new machines weighed 28 tons, carried a bridge deck 10 meters long. In order to maintain the same speed as the Pz.Kpfw. III, the bridge gear had to be dismantled and transported on a trio of trucks.
All four vehicles were within the 3. Kompanie/Panzer-Pionier-Battalion 39 of 3. Panzer-Division deployed on the eastern front. There is a recorded instance of a pair of Brückenleger IVc's being deployed on 25 June 1941 to bridge an 18 metre wide river. A series of these vehicles were produced only on the platform Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. E.
No other machines were produced.
The conversion of a bridgehead Brückenleger IVc into a tank destroyer is photographed.
