Just curiosity... About Pz. IV ausf. H

What is that thing within the red ellipse?

I think they’re two cylinders, but what are they exactly?.. Thanks a lot in advance. Bets regards.

The two cylinders circled are the engine air filters.

Technically it’s called a Filzbalgfilter… (they couldn’t just call it a “filter”) lol! According to Doyle’s book it was introduced on the G version in May 43 and discontinued from the H in Feb 44.

So that’s an air filter… Thank you guys for you replies. Best regards.

José.
