Hi all! Were there any Pz 4 Gs in the Afrika Corps? I knew they had the early pz4 (the so-called 'Mark 4 Specials" but I wish to paint DML's Pz 4 g (the one with the side skirts) in DAK colors.. Any help is most appreciated

Thanks

Yes there were some in North Africa. I have at least a photo of them in Tunisia. (Squadron's Panzer IV 1939-1945: Kevin Hjermstad)
the only problem is that Scurzen wasn't added til 1943. Early ausf G's also had the L/43 gun, not the L/48.
