Panzer III was the common name of a medium tank that was developed in the 1930s by Germany and was used extensively in World War II. The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen
III Sd Kfz. 141 (abbreviated PzKpfw III) translating as "armoured fighting vehicle".
It was intended to fight other armoured fighting vehicles and serve alongside the support Panzer IV; however, as the
Germans faced the formidable T-34, stronger anti-tank guns were needed. Since the
Panzer IV had a bigger turret ring, the roles were reversed. The Panzer IV
mounted the long barrelled 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun and engaged in tank-to-tank battles. The
Panzer III became obsolete in this role and for most purposes was supplanted by
the Panzer IV. From 1942, the last version of Panzer III mounted the 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24, better suited for infantry support. Production of the Panzer III ended
in 1943. However, the Panzer III's capable chassis provided hulls for the Sturmgeschütz IIIassault gun until the end of the war.
