More like Pz III/IV the uniform is fromt he Afrika Korps so the Pz III/IV were the most deployed there, also the PZ IV hatch is a tad bit flatter

Can't be identified as a III or IV based on the cupola design; this one was used on both.

Looks like the German Admiral was an Afrika Korps Tanker or Erica Hartmann is the Swiss Army soldier

That's one helluva improvement in just two years.

You do know the Pz. III/IV was only prototyped, and never mass produced?

yeah, but still looks strongly like the proto one

I do admit that's the commander's cupola of the Pz. III/IV, but only because it was the main type of cupola they used for both the Pz. III and Pz. IV. They even had that type of cupola on some captured tanks (KVs, T-34s, etc).

They didn't use any other type of commander's cupola until the Panther and Tiger went into production, so it's really difficult to tell which tank this is at this angle.

Due to the slightly visible turret basket I assume this to be the Panzer IV "Afrika Special", AKA, the Panzer IV F2/G.
