H featured additional armor, side skirts (Schürzen), and other improvements aimed at boosting survivability on the increasingly challenging Eastern and Western Fronts. Overhead track shelves were a crucial part of the tank’s external storage, allowing crews to carry spare track links for repairs or to reinforce armor in critical areas.
