- Sdkfz. is short for for Sonderkraftfahrzeug ("special-purpose vehicle"). Sdkfz. designations were assigned to armoured vehicles and other vehicles placed in military service for a specific purpose. These designations are given here as "Sdkfz.-Nummer" ("Nummer" meaning "number").

- Generally speaking, should a "/" be in the name, the letter following it denoted the country of origin (e.g. "/a" for "amerikanisch", the German word for "American").

- Please take note that all calibres here are listed with their German / Prussian designation. The German 8,8-cm-KwK 43 L/71, for example, would be written as 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 in English.

- Only the variants of aircraft /vehicles that saw service are listed here; versions that did not see service are not .

- All armour penetration values given here are nominal , as well as under the assumption that the gun in question uses standard armour-piercing rounds.

- The Reichsstreitkräfte ceased to be a seperate entity upon its merging with the Wehrmacht in 1947; therefore, the period of usage given is only applicable to the Reichsstreitkräfte, not to the Wehrmacht.

Circa 40; all captured during the Invasion of Britain or the Battle of America or knocked-out and then restored to working condition by Prussian repair crews. The T26 was disliked by Prussian tank crews, as it did not offer any significant advantages over the Pzkpfw. A11 Ausf. B and was actually considered to be inferior. Nicknamed "Paula" by Prussian tank crews. Sdkfz.-Nummer: Sdkfz. a. 1520.

- Fremdpanzerkampfwagen S.34/a/128 (1946 - 1947): Captured Heavy Tank T34E2 Roosevelt rearmed with 12,8-cm-KwK 42 and fitted with Prussian equipment. 15 in total; all captured during the Battle of America or knocked-out and then restored to working condition by Prussian repair crews.

x Deutsch (German):

- Multiple German tanks were used by Prussian troops, but did not receive an own designation or Sdkfz.-Nummer (based on a Heeres-Order ("Army Order / Instruction")). This included, but was not limited to, Pzkpfw. III, IV, V, VI, VIII, IX, X and XI of different models and versions, StuG III and IV and numerous different tank destroyers and other vehicles.

Prussian Panzer (tanks):

- Panzerkampfwagen A7 Ausf. A/B/C/D/F (1924 - 1940): Prussia's first self-developed (light) tank. It was developed by Joseph Vollmer and the Prussian Ministry of War on the basis of the Imperial German Sturmpanzerwagen Oberschlesien. Its main armament was an improved version of the Renault FT's Puteaux SA 18. The A7's "baptism of fire" was during the Prussian-Polish War, where the Renault FT-17 proved to be no worthy adversary for it. Upgraded versions of the A7 were also used in the Romanian, Spanish and Turkish Civil Wars, still performing astonishingly well, outperforming both the German Pzkpfw. I and II and the Soviet T-26. Its last version, the Ausf. F, was a definitive scout tank created when the A7 was being replaced with the A8. The A7 was produced from 1925 to 1932. In 1942/43, all remaining (formerly "mothballed") A7 were converted / re-build into tank destroyers (Jagdpanzerwagen A7J).

Exported: 100 (different variants) sold to Spanish Nationalist troops in 1938/39. Many exported from 1937 to 1941.

- Panzerkampfwagen A8 Ausf. A/B/C/D/D2 (1932 - 1947): The A8 was a light tank developed by Joseph Vollmer. It was produced from 1931 to 1939 and was an "export hit". It replaced the Pzkpfw. A7 in production and service. The A8 was the most numerous tank in the Prussian Panzer troops during the early period of the Spanish Civil War, were it performed admirably, outclassing both the German Pzkpfw. I and II and the Soviet T-26. Its reliable suspension made it a prime candidate for a tank destroyer, so many were converted into Jagdpanzerwagen A8J. The rest were used as scout tanks and remained in service until the end of World War II.

Sdkfz.-Nummer: Sdkfz. 101

Armor in mm (hull) (front - side - rear): 30-20-20 (Ausf. A - C) or 40-25-20 (Ausf. D and D2)

Exported: Numerous from 1933 to 1944. Many supplied Axis countries under the Prussian Lend-Lease-Program.

- Panzerkampfwagen A9 "Monarch" Ausf. A/B/D/E/G/H/J/J2 (1935 - 1947): A medium tank somewhat comparable to the German Panzerkampfwagen IV, Russian T-34 and American M4 Sherman. Developed by the Joseph Vollmer AG. The A9 had sloped armour from Ausf. G onwards; its frontal armour was angled at 55°. Its suspension proved so reliable that all available pre-Ausf. J A9s were upgraded to Ausf. J standard from 1942 to 1943 (these were designated Ausf. J2), which included a better engine, a new, heavily armoured turret, a more powerful gun (the 7,5-cm-KwK 41), and a roof-mounted, remote-controlled 12.7 mm MG40. The A9 had a good reputation with friend and foe; captured A9s were often and gladly used by Allied and Soviet forces. Produced from 1935 to 1944 (for a while the A9 was produced alongside the A11, but eventually the production was cancelled in favour of the latter), but production was continued in 1945 (due to Axis demand). All available Ausf. A, B and D were upgraded to Ausf. E standard in 1938/39/40; all available Ausf. E, G and H were upgraded to Ausf. J2 in 1942/43/44.

The Monarch was commonly used to mount a multiple rocket launcher known as the Raketenwerfer Modell 1942 (nicknamed "clarinet", due to the highly distinctive sound it made). This rocket launcher was placed atop the tank and could fire a barrage of 105 mm R40 rockets from 50 launch tubes. It was sometimes compared to the T34 Calliope Rocket Launcher used by the American army.

There was also a command tank variant of the Monarch (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A9K), a recovery tank built on its chassis (Bergepanzerwagen A9Bg), and two amphibious versions (Schwimmpanzerkampfwagen A9W and Tauchpanzerkampfwagen A9T).

Produced: 32,580 in total

Exported: Multiple during and after World War II. Many supplied to Axis countries under the Prussian Lend-Lease-Program.

Notes: The blueprints for the Panzerkampfwagen A9 Ausf. E, as well as 5 units of it, were secretly purchased by Italy in early 1940. The A9 Ausf. E immediately went into production and was put into service with the Italian tank troops in 1941, under the designation Carro Armato M32/41. The Italian army utilized approximately 2,500 units of the A9; it was in production throughout the war, even when domestically developed "adequate" tanks (like the Carro Armato P26/40) became available in sufficient numbers.

- Panzerkampfwagen A10 "Löwe" Ausf. D/DB/B/B2/B/GT/B2/GT (1941 - 1947): A heavy tank developed by Daimler-Preußen. It had sloped armor (e.g. its frontal armour was angled at 40°) and a rear-mounted turret (which had frontal armour sloped at 60°). Its agility, mobility, and cross-country performance were very good (especially for a heavy tank), the latter easily surpassing that of most other WWII tanks. The A10's armour was revolutionary, utilising integral spaced armour. There are hollow spaces inside this type of armour, increasing the length of travel from the exterior of the vehicle to the interior for a given weight of armour, to reduce a shaped charge's penetrating power. This spaced armour increased the A10's protection immensely, especially against high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) projectiles. The A10's (and A11's) armour proved so effective that integral spaced armour was utilised by every Prussian tank designed after the A10 (and A11). Despite the success of the Ausf. D, the A10 was the subject of a major redesign intended to further increase its combat abilites; this lead to the A10 Ausf. B. The A10 "Löwe" ("Lion") had one of the highest crew survival rate of all tanks fielded in World War II and was loved by its crews for its reliability, armour (its frontal armour was basically impenetrable, especially in the B version), and powerful gun. Despite its weight and size, it was surprisingly agile. Only few Löwen were lost in combat during the war. The A10, being very successful, proved to be a highly effective design and struck fear into the hearts of Soviet and Allied tank crews, even more so than the legendary Tiger I and II. It is noted for being commanded by some of Prussia's and Germany's most famous tank commanders (e.g. Crown Prince Richard of Hohenzollern, Michael Wittmann); it was sometimes called an "ace-maker". The Ausf. DB was an A10 Ausf. D upgraded to Ausf. B standard; the Ausf. B2 was an Ausf. B (re-)armed with the 12,8-cm-KwK 45 (an improved, longer-barreled version of the 12,8-KwK 42). In 1945/46 some A10s were re-fitted with the Daimler GT 2502 gas turbine engine; the official designation for this upgrade was "Rüstsatz GT". Tanks upgraded this way were designated Ausf. B/GT or Ausf. B2/GT (depending which version the Rüstsatz was applied to).

There was also a command tank variant of the Löwe (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A10K), as well as a recovery tank built on its chassis (Bergepanzerwagen A10Bg).

- Panzerkampfwagen A10B "Löwe II" Ausf. A (1945 - 1947): A heavily improved and modified version of the Pzkpfw. A10 Ausf. B. It was designed as one of two new "Standardkampfpanzer" (standard battle tanks) of the Prussian army, and was planned to replace most other Prussian tanks in production. These plans did not come to pass for quite a while however, due to the "financial and administrative upheaval" following the reunification of Prussia and Germany and the end of World War II. The A10B proved to be very reliable and effective, easily outmatching all of the most modern tanks of any other nation. The A10B was protected by Siegfried-Verbund-Panzerung (Siegfried composite armour, developed by the Friedrichsthal Institute and named after the legendary dragon-slaying hero); the exact composition of this armour is a well-kept secret. (Composite armour later became standard for German/Prussian tanks.) Not a single A10B was ever lost in combat and its armour was never penetrated (in combat). (Siegfried was certainly not impenetrable, however; it was approximately 1.5 times as effective as RHA.) The A10B was developed by the Reichswerke 'Hohenzollern' Landsysteme AG & Co. KG. The Löwe II went into production only a little bit later than the Pzkpfw. A11B. It was powered by the Daimler GT 2503/2, a gas turbine engine for use in tanks and an improved version of the Daimler GT 2503. The Ausf. A's main armament was the heavy, long-barreled 12,8-cm-KwK 45. This gun was the single most accurate tank gun of World War II; it was, however, relatively expensive to manufacture. The 12,8-cm-KwK 45 has often been called the "apex of Prussian tank guns".

There was also a command tank variant of the Löwe II (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A10BK).

- Panzerkampfwagen A11 "Wolf" Ausf. D/DB/B/E/B/GT/E/GT (1941 - 1947): A medium tank developed by AEG. It had sloped armour (e.g. its frontal armor was angled at 30°). Its turret was mounted in the centre. The A11 arguably was Prussia's most successful tank and one of its most important armoured fighting vehicles in WW2; it was loved by its crews for its reliability, agility and gun, which was one of the most powerful and accurate guns mounted on any tank in WW2. Its cross-country performance, agility, and mobility were unmatched by other designs of the era and were nigh legendary. The A11's armour, like the A11's, utilised integral spaced armour. Despite the success of the Ausf. D, the A11 was the subject of a major redesign intended to further increase its combat abilites; this lead to the A11 Ausf. B. The A11 outclassed anything the Germans, Americans, British and Soviets could field in 1942, and by 1947, it was still unsurpassed by Allied and most other Axis designs. The A11 was noted for being easy to construct despite its complexity and being quite cheap to maintain. It had / has a very good reputation; Prussian and German troops loved it and Allied and Soviet tank crews feared it. The Wolf Ausf. E came about due to the demand of multiple Prussian generals for a "more heavily armoured medium tank" (the idea was comparable to the M4A3E2 variant of the American M4 Sherman medium tank) - essentially, it was an uparmoured Ausf. B with an improved suspension. The Ausf. DB was an A11 Ausf. D upgraded to Ausf. B standard (but retained the Ausf. D's turret, which is instantly recognisable due to its rather angular shape). In 1945/46 some A11s were re-fitted with the Daimler GT 2502/1 gas turbine engine; the official designation for this upgrade was "Rüstsatz GT". Tanks upgraded in this way were designated Ausf. B/GT or Ausf. E/GT (depending on the version the upgrade was applied to). The Wolf Ausf. B's main weakness, like the German Panther tank's, was its (relatively) weak side armour; Prussian tactical doctrine for the use of the Wolf thus emphasized the importance of flank protection. (However, basically every medium tank of World War II had weak side armour; this weakness was not unique to the Wolf and Panther, which actually had relatively strong side armour.)

There was also a command tank variant of the Wolf (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A11K), a recovery tank built on its chassis (Bergepanzerwagen A11Bg) and an amphibious version (Schwimmpanzerkampfwagen A11W).

Notes: The Panzerkampfwagen A11 "Wolf" Ausf. B, under the designation "Type 11 Ōkami", was produced for Japan's ground forces from 1943 to 1945 (until the new Type 5-Kai Chi-Ri, Type 6 Jus-Ha and Type 7 Chi-Ni tanks, the latter two of which had been developed with Prussian help, could be produced). About 800 A11s were delivered to Japan. The Type 11 was the subject of numerous Japanese modifications over time.

- Panzerkampfwagen A11A "Luchs" Ausf. R/T (1943 - 1947): A light tank developed partly from the Pzkpfw. A11 "Wolf" Ausf. B (hence the designation as A11A); developed by AEG. The Luchs was intended to be an "air transportable and small light reconnaissance tank" and was immediately assessed as "excellent" when it was first tested. It was quickly introduced into service to replace the aging A8 light reconnaissance tanks. Its main gun was a shortened and lightened version of the 7,5-cm-KwK 38; it was designated 7,5-cm-KwK 44. Its design utilised integral spaced armour, like the tank it was developed from. The Luchs omitted a fourth crew member, requiring its commander to also perform the duties of a loader and radio operator. This allowed the designers of the Luchs to save weight and make the tank smaller. The Luchs was loved by its crews for its amazing speed and agility, as well as for its reliability and (especially for a light tank) powerful gun. The Luchs was the fastest armoured fighting vehicle of World War II (even faster than the vaunted American M18 Hellcat). Despite its intended role as a reconnaissance tank, which it fullfilled perfectly, the Luchs was also successfully used to fight other tanks, mostly ambushing them from the side or rear and then getting away with the enemy having little to no chance of catching it. The Luchs' Ausf. T was conceived as an "air transportable infantry support tank", similar to the Sturmpanzerwagen A11AS, but with different armament: whereas the A11AS was armed with a howitzer, the A11A Ausf. T was armed with one 30 mm autocannon, developed from the 3-cm FlaK 38, and one 12.7 mm SMG40. These guns were designated the 3-cm/12,7-mm-Waffe 38/40; its 3 cm component could penetrate 32 mm of armour at a range of 500 m. Of course, the A11A Ausf. T was seldom used against tanks, as its main task was combating infantry (and at the most the occasional armoured car). The Ausf. T could theoretically also combat aircraft, but due to its lack of a dedicated Flak turret and limited gun elevation, this proved to be rather difficult to accomplish and was officially discouraged.

There was also a command tank variant of the Luchs (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A10AK).

These plans did not come to pass for quite a while however, due to the "financial and administrative upheaval" following the reunification of Prussia and Germany and the end of World War II. The A11B is often called the "pinnacle of Prussian tank design", blurring the lines between heavy and medium tanks, instead being a "new class of tank" (it was still listed as a medium tank, however). The A11B proved to be very reliable and effective, easily outmatching all of the most modern tanks of any other nation. The A11B was protected by Siegfried composite armour; its armour was only penetrated in combat on very few occasions. It was developed by the AG Reichswerke 'Habsburg' - AFV. The Wolf II has been in production since January 1945. It performed excellently in combat. It was powered by the Daimler GT 2503/2, a gas turbine engine for use in tanks and an improved version of the Daimler GT 2503; hence why it displayed such amazing speed.

There was also a command tank variant of the Wolf II (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A11BK).

- Panzerkampfwagen A11B2 "Jaguar" Ausf. B (1945 - 1947): A heavy tank developed by Krupp on the basis of the Pzkpfw. A11B "Wolf II". It was supposed to be a "heavier version of the Wolf II with a more powerful gun" and a "viable, lighter alternative to the Löwe II". Due to "conflicts" between the KMsK (the Prussian Marine Corps) and Heer in regards to equipment, both the Löwe II and Jaguar went into production. As both of these tanks proved very successful, they were produced alongside each other. Standardisation concerns were a non-issue, as the Jaguar shared many parts with the already introduced Pzkpfw. A11 "Wolf" Ausf. B and Pzkpfw. A11B "Wolf II". It was powered by the Daimler GT 2503/2 gas turbine engine. The Jaguar proved to be very reliable and effective, easily outmatching all of the most modern tanks of any other nation. It was protected by Siegfried composite armour. Not a single A11B2 was ever lost in combat and its armour was never penetrated (in combat).

There was also a command tank variant of the Jaguar (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A11B2K).

- Panzerkampfwagen A12 "Barbarossa" Ausf. L/L2 (1944 - 1947): A super-heavy tank jointly developed by Daimler-Preußen and AEG, named after Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I. The A12 had sloped armour; its frontal armor was angled at 40 degrees from the vertical. It had a rear-mounted turret, like almost all Prussian heavy tanks. The Barbarossa was intended as a heavy "tank killer" and proved to be highly successful; for example, one Barbarossa unit managed to single-handedly defeat a Soviet tank regiment during one engagement in late March 1945. During this engagement, the A12s claimed dozens of tanks destroyed (mostly T-34/85s and IS-2s) and damaged multiple others. Not a single A12 was ever lost in combat and its armour was never penetrated (in combat). Despite its weight and size, the A12 was surprisingly agile (similar to the A10 "Löwe"). Its main gun was accurate and powerful. The A12 gained the reputation of being "indestructible". It was powered by the Daimler GT 2503/1 gas turbine engine and therefore was quite fast, despite its immense weight. The A12 was the first tank in history to be protected by Siegfried composite armour. It proved to be very reliable and effective, easily outmatching all of the most modern tanks of any other nation. The Ausf. L2 had a somewhat different turret than the Ausf. L (due to its larger armament) and used the 15,5-cm-KwK 45 as its main gun. This gun was adapted from the auto-loading 15,5-cm-SK C/42 L/60 naval gun (used, for example, on the Elbing-class light cruisers). Kaiser Friedrich himself called the usefulness of this gun on a tank in question, as in his opinion the 12,8-cm-KwK 45 was "more than sufficient". In the end, only 50 A12 Ausf. L2 were built and fared fairly well; however, crews complained that 15.5 cm shells were "wasted on tanks like the Sherman" and preferred the higher ammunition capacity of the Ausf. L and its 12.8 cm gun. Over-penetration was also an issue when firing at tanks like the Sherman.

There was also a command tank variant of the Barbarossa (Kommandopanzerkampfwagen A12K).

- Panzerkampfwagen A14 "Schakal" Ausf. A/B/C (1943 - 1947): The A14 was a rather unique medium tank developed by AEG on the basis of Pzkpfw. A9 Ausf. J and the Pzkpfw. A11 Ausf. D. The A14 "Schakal" ("Jackal") was intended for export only, but some A14s saw limited service with Prussian tank troops. Its design utilised integral spaced armour. It was relatively inexpensive to produce and was mechanically simple and robust. It was very simple to operate compared to other Prussian tanks, and didn't require a high level of training or education from its crew members (this earned it the nickname "amateur's tank"). The A14 was also a relatively small tank, presenting a smaller target for its opponents to hit, and had good mobility and agility thanks to its relatively light weight and powerful engine. Nevertheless, the A14 had a few drawbacks. Its relatively small size was achieved at the expense of interior space and crew comforts; this caused practical difficulties, as it constrained the physical movements of the crew and slowed operation of controls and equipment (it was still better in this respect than the Russian T-34 and T-44, however). A modified (i.e. downgraded) version of the engine used in the A11 Ausf. B granted the A14 high speed and agility. It was armed with a version of the famed 10,5-cm-KwK 42 (the main armament of the Pzkpfw. A11) and protected by high-quality Prussian steel. The Schakal was heavily exported to Japan and the Russian Tsardom/Empire (formed in 1945), the latter of which also produced the Schakal in license (under the designation T-14), and equipped large parts of the Russian Liberation Army's tank troops. Post-war, the production numbers of the A14 reached the tens of thousands, and as of 1960 many A14s still remain in reserve or even front-line use (in upgraded versions); thus, the A14 is one of the most common tanks of all time. Prussian Schakal tanks were mostly not used on the frontline, but rather for anti-partisan operations et cetera.

Landkreuzer (landships):

- Landkreuzer 44L "Drache" (1945 - 1947): A so-called "landcruiser" (sometimes called landship) developed by the AG Reichswerke 'Habsburg' - AFV; it is not seen as a tank by the Prussian military, but rather as "something else". It was not accepted for regular service due to late Kaiser Friedrich's dislike of the concept. One (nicknamed "König") was completed by early 1945 and it was successfully used during the last days of the war in the East and during the Invasion of the Americas. The Drache ("Dragon") mounted a heavily armoured turret (called "Rückenturm") on the rear; its anti-aircraft armament was composed of four 5-cm-FlaK M42 (a variant of the sublime 5-cm-VS M42 Imperator). It contained a vehicle bay sufficient to hold three motorcycles (for scouting), as well as several smaller storage rooms, a compact infirmary area and a self-contained lavatory system. The Landkreuzer's hull was protected by Siegfried composite armour; its armour was strong enough to effortlessly withstand even attacks from dive bombers. It had four so-called "Feuerstände" on each side, which essentially were heavily armoured machine gun ports. The Drache, despite being only one vehicle, left a huge impression on the Allies and Soviets and was often described as being a "truly fear-inducing sight". Its main turret was adapted from the main gun turrets used on Prussia Panzerschiffe, but was heavily modified and up-armoured. The Drache's guns were adapted from leftover Prussian naval artillery. The 44L was accompanied by four ammunition-carriers built from A10 tanks. It was powered by two AEG U-Boot engines and is the biggest, tallest and heaviest armoured vehicle ever produced. The Drache was donated to the Generalfeldmarschall-Rommel-Panzermuseum ("Field Marshal Rommel Tank Museum") in Berlin/Germania after the war and was turned into a popular walkable monument.

- Jagdpanzerwagen A15J Ausf. A (1945 - 1947): Developed by Krupp on the chassis of the Panzerkampfwagen A15, a superheavy tank that was not accepted for service. All produced in 1945. The A15J had heavily sloped frontal armour. It was protected by Siegfried composite armour. The casemate superstructure of the A15J was located on the rear of the tank. None of the A15Js were lost in combat. It was developed as a response to the Soviet IS-3 tank; however, A10 and A11 tanks were found to be more than able to deal with it. The only reason why the Jgdpzw. A15J was not cancelled was the personal interest of Adolf Hitler in the tank; the Kaiser called the tank a "waste of money". Despite this, the A15J performed excellently when used correctly, and the five that were built are responsible for, among others, 97 destroyed Soviet and American tanks. The A15J was used on the Eastern Front and during the invasion of the USA. Its disadvantages were its high weight and height and its low ammunition capacity; thus, every A15J was accompanied by two ammunition-carriers built from A11 "Wolf" tanks. The A15J had a very low rate of fire. The 20-cm-PaK 45 was the largest and most powerful gun mounted on any tank (the Landkreuzer 44L is not considered a tank by the Prussian/German military) in history; it was adapted from the Prussian 20-cm-Kanone 36 heavy siege gun. The Jagdpanzerwagen A15J was powered by two modified Daimler GT 2503/0 gas turbine engines. Despite being designated as a tank destroyer, the A15J was mainly used in the role of an assault gun and as a direct-fire artillery piece (though it was also capable of indirect fire).

Sturmgeschütze (assault guns):

- Sturmgeschütz A9S Ausf. B/C/D/E/F (1938 - 1947): An assault gun developed on the chassis of the Pzkpfw. A9. Its original role was similar to the German Sturmgeschütz III's, but similar to it the StuG A9S was redesigned as a tank destroyer and turned out to be highly efficient in its new role. Developed by Königsberger Maschinenfabrik AG. Produced from 1938 to 1946. The Ausf. F was the definite version of the StuG A9S, armed with the powerful 7,5-cm-StuK 41.

- Sturmpanzerwagen A9S Ausf. J (1942 - 1947): A modification of the Pzkpfw. A9 Ausf. J with a howitzer as the main weapon, increased armour and a different, more heavily armoured turret. Also had a different engine than the regular Pzkpfw. A9. It was developed by the Joseph Vollmer AG, due to the army demanding an "infantry support tank combining the advantages of a turret and an assault gun". The A9S was used for infantry and tank support, and attack on fortified positions in a direct fire role, for support on the battlefield in an indirect fire role, and for fighting against tanks with direct fire. The Stpzw. (official abbreviation of "Sturmpanzerwagen") A9S was used successfully in all of these roles.

- Sturmpanzerwagen A10S "Sturmlöwe" Ausf. B/B/GT (1943 - 1947): A modification of the Pzkpfw. A10 Ausf. B with a howitzer as the main weapon, increased armour and a different, heavily armoured turret. Developed by Daimler-Preußen, due to the army demanding an "infantry support tank like the A9S on basis of the Pzkpfw. A10". It had an enhanced suspension to deal with the extra weight, a better engine and was slightly bigger than a normal A10. The Sturmlöwe was used for infantry and tank support, and attack on fortified positions in a direct fire role, for support on the battlefield in an indirect fire role, and for fighting against tanks with direct fire. It was used successfully in all these roles, but especially against enemy armour. Its gun, adapted from the 15-cm-SFH 35, possessed "acceptable accuracy". When it hit, the raw power of the gun was enough to flip a light(er) tank on its side. The 15-cm-StuH 43 was deadly even when it couldn't penetrate its target; it could penetrate 155 mm of RHA sloped at 30 degrees from a distance of 1,000 m (with armour-piercing shells). The Stupa (inofficial, but popular abbreviation of Sturmpanzerwagen) A10S was used on all fronts and, despite its high weight and (relative) sluggishness, proved to be a highly successful design. The name "Sturmlöwe" war originally an unofficial nickname, but was officially adopted in 1945. The mere sight of a Stupa A10S was enough to let enemy troops panic and increase the morale of friendly troops. Stupa A10S were exclusively crewed by experienced Pzkpfw. A10 crews. The only "real" weakness the Sturmlöwe had were its slow turret traverse, relatively slow rate of fire, and limited mobility. A modified version of the Stpzw. A10S is still in service with the Wehrmacht. In 1945/46/47 some Sturmlöwe were re-fitted with the Daimler GT 2502 gas turbine engine, these tanks were designated Ausf. B/GT; the official designation for this upgrade was "Rüstsatz GT".

- Sturmpanzerwagen A11S "Sturmwolf" Ausf. B/B/GT (1943 - 1947): A modification of the Pzkpfw. A11 Ausf. B, also including elements from the Ausf. E (such as the improved suspension), with an elongated chassis, a howitzer as the main weapon, (somewhat) increased armour and a different, heavily armoured turret. Developed by AEG. It was inspired by the success of the Stupa A10S and, similarly to it, was used for infantry and tank support, and attack on fortified positions in a direct fire role, for support on the battlefield in an indirect fire role, and for fighting against tanks with direct fire. It was used successfully in all these roles. The Sturmwolf was intended as a "more mobile alternative to the Stpzw. A10S". It had an enhanced suspension to deal with the extra weight, a better engine and was slightly bigger than a normal A11. Its gun, a shortened version of the A10S' 15-cm-StuH 43, was quite accurate, especially for a (relatively "traditional") howitzer. The Stupa A11S was used on all fronts and proved to be a successful design. Similar to the A10S, "Sturmwolf" only officially became part of the tank's name in 1945, being an unofficial nickname before that. Stpzw. A11S were exclusively crewed by experienced Pzkpfw. A11 crews. A modified version of the Sturmwolf is still in service with the Wehrmacht. In 1945/46/47 some Stpzw. A11S were re-fitted with the Daimler GT 2502/1 gas turbine engine, these tanks were designated Ausf. B/GT; the official designation for this upgrade was "Rüstsatz GT".

- Sturmpanzerwagen A11AS "Sturmluchs" Ausf. R (1944 - 1947): A modification of the Pzkpfw. A11A with a howitzer as the main weapon and a different turret. Developed by AEG. The Sturmluchs was intended to be an air transportable "light infantry support tank", but it was also used with relative success against enemy (light) armour. Its gun was a lightened and shortened version of the 12,8-cm-StuH 41.

- Sturmpanzerwagen A12S "Mjölnir" Ausf. L (1946 - 1947): A modification of the Pzkpfw. A12 with a howitzer as the main weapon, (somewhat) increased armour and a different, even more heavily armoured turret; developed by Daimler-Preußen. The Mjölnir, named after the hammer of the Norse god Thor, was specifically designed for the urban combat which the Prussian High Command expected during the invasion of the USA. However, like all other Prussian Sturmpanzerwagen, it was also used with success against enemy amour (its 17 cm howitzer could literally rip the American M4 Sherman apart). It was used in the same way as the Stpzw. A10S/A11S/A11BS. The A12S was protected by Siegfried composite armour and was powered by the Daimler GT 2503/4 gas turbine engine. Its gun was adapted from the Prussian 17-cm-Schwere Feldhaubitze 36 heavy howitzer. Not a single A12S was ever lost in combat and its armour was never penetrated (in combat). Like the tank it was adopted from, the Mjölnir gained the reputation of being "indestructible" - and perhaps even more so.

- Selbstfahrlafette A11A "Wiesel" Ausf. R (1944 - 1947): The Wiesel was a lightly armored, air transportable anti-tank vehicle developed by the Reichswerke 'Hohenzollern' Landsysteme AG & Co. KG on the chassis of the A11A "Luchs" light tank. It mounted eight 105 mm recoilless rifles (the 10,5-cm-Rückstoßfreies Geschütz 44, or 10,5-cm-RG 44 for short) as its main armament, which could be fired in rapid succession against single targets to guarantee a kill. Originally conceived as a fast tank killer, the Wiesel was also used for direct fire support against infantry. Its mobility and firepower were proven in numerous battles and operations. Its armament, the RG 44, was (partially) developed from the Pzarw44 anti-tank rocket launcher; it could penetrate 250 mm of RHA from a distance of 250 m and was highly accurate. Two of its recoilless rifles had 12,7-mm-Zielmarkierungsgewehre (ZMG spotting rifles) attached, firing a round with the same trajectory as the 105 mm round, that gave off a puff of smoke on impact. The ZMG were used to line up the recoilless rifles with the target. The layout of its armament was inspired by the Fla-Rkw45 "Bienenwabe" device, which mounted eight Jgrb45 ground-to-air rocket launchers on an AU-932 truck. The Wiesel's turret could traverse about 40 degrees. Its light armor was effective against small arms but vulnerable to mines, rocket launchers, aircraft, tank and anti-tank guns and even heavy machine gun fire from a certain distance. It was liked by its crews, and praised by commanders. Its relatively light weight meant that the Wiesel could also go where tanks got bogged down.

Raketenwerfer (rocket artillery):

- Raketenwerfer 42 (Sf) (1942 - 1947): A multiple rocket launcher mounted on an AU-932 truck, the standard truck of the Prussian army from 1938 to 1947. Multiple rocket launchers such as the Raketenwerfer 42 deliver a devastating amount of explosives to a target area more quickly than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. The Raketenwerfer 42 possessed 44 launch tubes for 105 mm R40 rockets and was extremely effective in saturation bombardment. It was developed by the Chemie- und Waffenfabrik 'Markgraf' and proved to be highly effective; it was particularly used on the Eastern Front and during the Invasion of the USA. Its sound had a huge psychological impact on enemy soldiers, who feared it and would often flee in panic when hearing the launcher's highly distinctive sound. The Raketenwefer was nicknamed "Kaiserorgel" ("Emperor's Organ"), in reference to the nickname of the Soviet rocket launcher Katyusha, "Stalinorgel" ("Stalin's Organ"); however, it is more commonly known by the nickname "Thanatos" (the Greek god of death). Approximately 15,000 were produced during World War II. It was exported to or produced in license by numerous countries allied to Prussia. Was produced in two variants: Raketenwerfer 42 and 42/2. Its official abbreviation was Rkw 42 (Sf). Sdkfz.-Nummer: Sdkfz. 212.
