Panzerkampfwagen IV ausf E (SdKfz 161) with additional armor bolted to its side. The ausf E was produced from September 1940 to April 1941, with 233 units manufactured by Krupp-Gruson. The ausf E added Gepack Kasten (storage bins) at the rear of the turret, an acknowledgment of how much time crews spent with their tanks during combat operations. The ausf E also had an improved drive sprocket, driver's compartment and commander's cupola.
