For the needs of self-propelled artillery units was created on the basis of a tank PzKpfw.IV Ausf.J artillery reconnaissance and guidance vehicle. The first experimental machine was completed in 1/1944 and it was decided that every 25 produced by PzKpfw.IV would be produced in this modification. This would avoid the subsequent necessary adjustment for the needs of artillery units. On the roof in front to the left of the command tower, which was not the original from PzKpfw.IV, but from a self-propelled gun StuG III Ausf.G, a retractable artillery aiming periscope (TSR1) was available. The advantage of the command turret used was the ability to extend the artillery binoculars TF14Z after opening the small hatch without having to open the main hatch. This ensured better safety of the commander-observer than it was with the same use of the same binocular in the commander version Panzerbefehlswagen IV. The observer had a compass and a map board.
The crew consisted of a commander-observer, an assistant observer, a driver and two radio operators. One of the radio operators was also a charger and the auxiliary observer was also a gunner. The machine was equipped with radio stations Fu8, Fu4 and Fu.Spr.f. The tank was missing coaxial machine gun and its holder, instead of which was additional radio equipment.
These tanks were to serve in units of self-propelled guns Wespe and Hummel of individual tank divisions.











Overview of the number of built machines:


7/1944 - 7 pcs
8/1944 - 18 pcs
9/1944 - 21 pcs
10/1944 - 25 pcs
11/1944 - 20 pcs
12/1944 - 11 pcs
1/1945 - 16 pcs
2/1945 - 0 pcs
3/1945 - 15 pcs





A total of 133 pieces.
