You know that:

  • Panzer tanks were developed in 1935 as the main battle tanks of the German army.
  • From the beginning, the tank was designed as a modular kit, with chassis and turrets produced by various suppliers. In field conditions, it was thus easy to assemble working machines from damaged and non-mobile pieces.
  • The Panzer III was equipped with a system for wading up to 15 meters deep for 20 minutes. The air supply was provided by an 18 metre long hose with a diameter of 20 cm suspended from a float.
  • After the invasion of Russia, the Panzers encountered superior Soviet and British machines, sparking a dispute between the German Army and the Ordnance Office, which would not allow a larger caliber gun.
  • Eventually, in the face of the Soviet Army's rolling T-34 and KV-1 armour, the tank was given a more powerful 50mm calibre cannon with a long barrel.
  • Even with the more powerful gun, the machine was not enough to take on the opponents and there was no choice but to accept the fact that the Pz III was too light and small to incorporate an effective weapon, so production was discontinued in 1943.
  • AUSF version. J was produced in the largest number and later versions were fitted with the KwK 39 L/60 gun and a reinforced 57 mm front plate.
  • The tank was fitted with a Maybach HL petrol engine. Yes, this is the same company that makes luxury cars today.
  • In total, some 5,774 were produced in various modifications.

From British tanker John Smith's memoirs of the Battle of Gazala:

"The Panzer III was fast, agile and well armed. Its 50mm cannon could penetrate the armour of our Matilda and Valentine tanks. We had to rely on our anti-tank guns and mines to stop them."
