The German PzKpfw IV ausf G is a recent addition to the Patton Museum collection. The vehicle was originally at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds (APG) in Maryland since it was brought back for testing after being captured in Tunisia in 1942.

After the war it was put on display in a building at APG along with several other captured vehicles and weapons. At some point several of the foreign tanks, including the Panzer IV, had their sides cut out so visitors could see the inside. During the Vietnam War, the Army had need of the exhibit building and all vehicles and heavy ordnance were displayed outside in a field. The Armaments Museum was built alongside to house the small arms and light ordnance, but the open vehicles suffered from the elements for over 40 years.

The Panzer IV's interior has deteriorated during this time, but the Patton Museum hopes to cosmetically restore the interior and exterior of the vehicle and put it on display inside the museum.
