Historical background and usage:

The Panzer III was one of the basic German tanks during World War II, used by the Wehrmacht from the early stages of the war (Polish campaign, 1939) until 1944, when it was increasingly replaced by newer designs such as the Panzer IV or Panther.

The Ausf.J, L, and M versions took part in battles on all major fronts: in North Africa, on the Eastern Front, and during the Battle of Kursk. Upgrades to armament (introduction of longer-barreled 5cm KwK guns) and increased armor were responses to the development of Soviet and Allied armored vehicles.
