The Panzerkampfwagen III (PzKpfw III) was the backbone of the German armored forces in the early years of the war, and its Ausf. L version was specially reinforced to better face the Soviet T-34 during fighting on the Eastern Front. The Ausf. L variant featured thickened turret armor up to 57 mm and additional protective measures for the gun mantlet and upper hull plate. This tank was used by Germany during the toughest battles, including the memorable clash at the Kursk salient in July 1943, which was the largest tank battle of World War II.
