Killed by the turret of a Panzer IV Tank.

The Panzerkampfwagen IV (Pz.Kpfw. IV), commonly known as the Panzer IV, was a medium tank developed in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s and used extensively during the Second World War. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 161.

Designed as an infantry-support tank, the Panzer IV was not originally intended to engage enemy armor—that function was performed by the lighter, faster Panzer III. However, with the flaws of the pre-war doctrine of separate 'infantry' and 'cavalry' tanks becoming apparent in combat, the Panzer IV soon assumed the tank-fighting role of its increasingly obsolescent cousin.
