Historical Information

The Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. b was one of the first German serially produced tanks, actively used by the Wehrmacht's armored forces during the campaigns in Poland and France in 1939–1940. It was characterized by its light weight, improved suspension system, and cooling system compared to earlier prototype versions such as Ausf. a1 and a2. The introduction of a fuel trailer significantly increased the operational range of vehicles during fast-paced military actions, especially in areas lacking developed supply infrastructure.
