One disadvantage of
the LWS was the lack of armor, and armor was deemed necessary for any
amphibious operations. The floating trailer was also thought to be too
cumbersome and clumsy so a new scheme was devised. The overall structure of the
LWS was kept, but the new vehicle had the trackwork and suspension of the
ubiquitous PzKpfw IV to support a lightly armored superstructure. Two new
vehicles, called Panzerfaehre or PzF, were built and designed to take a large
pontoon between them to transport a tank or other cargo. Interesting on this
design are the cape stand winch in the middle of the deck and the fold down air
intakes. The driver sits in the front down and below and just before the air
intakes. Thus the PzF would act as a
ferry rather than a tractor. However, the program was canceled in 1942 after
the two prototypes were built and tried. A pre-production of seven LWS II were
built and they served on the Eastern front. After the war the LWS was taken by
the British and toEnglandfor technical assessment.
