Panzer est un vocable allemand signifiant “blindé”. Si le mot peut s’appliquer aujourd’hui à tous les engins cuirassés allemands, des origines jusqu’à nos jours, l’usage fait qu’il désigne essentiellement les blindés chenillés à tourelle allemands de la Seconde Guerre mondiale (panzerkampfwagen, véhicule blindé de combat, en abrégé PzKfw), lesquels eurent une conception et un emploi tactique particuliers. Le terme générique est moins utilisé pour les MBT (main battle tank) allemands de l’après-guerre (Leopard 1 et 2), similaires aux autres systèmes d’armes occidentaux. A noter que si l’historiographie française utilise le pluriel “panzers”, l’usage actuel admet le pluriel d’origine panzer en italique. De plus, certains ouvrages d’histoire militaire utilisent ce mot comme abréviation de grandes unités blindées (“2ème panzer” signifiant 2ème division blindée ou 2.Panzerdivision). Les panzer, surtout ceux de la deuxième moitié de la guerre, étaient très redoutés, moins nombreux mais souvent plus dangereux que ceux de leurs adversaires. Les chars lourds Tigre et Tigre II étaient ainsi les véhicules les plus lourdement blindés de leur époque. Le panzer IV fut le blindé allemand le plus utilisé durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a opéré sur tous les fronts : Pologne, France, Balkans, Grèce, front de l’Est, Afrique du Nord, Italie, etc.

Sujet	Soviet Komintern Artillery Tractor

A model of the brand Trumpeter the kit: Soviet Komintern Artillery Tractor – Trumpeter 05540.

Features : The kit consists of over 330 parts -the kit w/refined detail -multi-slide moulded cabin and lower hull -135 individual tracks links

The Komintern artillery tractor was based on the suspension of the T-12 tank and later the T-24 (2,000 built from 1935 to 1941), powered by a 131-hp diesel engine. Despite the dismal fate of its predecessor tanks, the tractor was more successful and was put into mass production. Of course, the Komintern inherited several of the T-24’s disadvantages, but some of them were fixed by designers, others were not as significant for tractor as for a tank. The Komintern was used to tow medium artillery such as the ML20 152 mm gun-howitzer.

Features : The kit consists of over 430 parts -the kit w/refined detail -multi-slide moulded lower hull -192 individual tracks links -Photo Etched Parts included

A stopgap upgrade to the KV series was the short-lived KV-85 or Objekt 239. This was a KV-1S with a new turret designed for the IS-85, mounting the same 85 mm D-5T gun as the SU-85 and early versions of the T-34-85. Already-high demand for the gun slowed production of the KV-85 tremendously, and only 148 were built before the KV design was replaced. The KV-85 was produced in the fall and winter of 1943-44; they were sent to the front as of September 1943, and production of the KV-85 was stopped by the spring of 1944 once the IS-2 entered full scale production.

Germany created a number of successful schwerer Panzerspahwagen (“heavy armored reconnaissance vehicles”) to support its forces. In fact, a whole family of vehicles was based on the Sd.Kfz.231 8-Rad (“eight-wheel”) design. This type of heavy armored car was ordered in 1934, and one of its special features was its chassis that featured 8-wheel drive and 8-wheel steering. This chassis was produced by Bussing-NAG and it offered good cross-country mobility. There were dual driver’s controls, which meant the vehicle could drive rapidly in either direction if it came under attack. The 8.3-ton Sd.Kfz.231 was built from 1936 through till May 1942, with some 607 vehicles produced in all (including the closely related Sd.Kfz.232). The Sd.Kfz.231 had a hexagonal-shaped turret mounting a 2cm KwK 30 cannon plus one MG34 machine gun.
