Panzer IV ausf F hits mine on Eastern Front
Here we see the moment a Panzer IV ausf F detonated a mine it had hit with its left track. The explosion is mainly going outwards, so the body of the tank appears to be OK but the left track would be destroyed. It is probably a Panzer IV ausf F, which carried the short gun, but had thicker armer and the circular gun port on the front of the superstructure.
