After WWI, Germany
pushed forward with the development of battle tanks under a veil of secrecy. The
Panzerkampfwagen II used the Panzerkampfwagen I's hull and came armed with a 2cm
main gun. Mass production began in 1937 and various improvements including a new
suspension was made. Approximately 1088 Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf.A-C tanks were
manufactured up until April 1940. The Panzerkampfwagen II led the surprise
attack on Poland and smashed their way throughout Europe. They were later
replaced by better frontline tanks but were successfully used in reconnaissance
missions until the end of the war.
