A Brief History of Panzer III Tanks
The Panzer III was the first German medium tank developed in 1930s. It was originally designed to fight enemy tanks and serve alongside the similar Panzer IV, which was bigger and initially conceived as infantry support tank. About 100 Panzer IIIs were used in the invasion of Poland and about 350 in the French campaign. The Panzer IIIs were the best tanks at the period of time. However, after the invasion of Soviet, the Panzer III was outclassed by the formidable T-34 and its small turret ring limited its potential to be mounted with more powerful anti-tank guns. It eventually swapped roles with the Panzer IV and became a infantry support tank since the Panzer IV was upgraded to the long-barrelled 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun and better armored.
The Panzer IIIs saw actions in the invasion of Poland, the battle of France, Operation Barbarossa and the Battle of Kursk in the Soviet Union, and the North African campaigns. Many were still in combat service against Western Allied forces in 1944-1945: at Anzio in Italy, in Normandy, and in Operation Market Garden in the Netherlands. Even after the cease of production, the Panzer III’s sturdy, reliable and long-lasting chassis formed the basis for one of the most successful self-propelled guns of the Second World War, the Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) tank destroyer. Among the variants of Panzer III from A to N, Ausf. J was the most produced, with around 1521 units been produced in 1941 and 1942.
