- The Panzerkampfwagen III was a German tank that was used in WW2, development started in 1936 and in 1937 a few Ausf. A tanks came off the assembly line and after several tests, production started for the Ausf F in 1939. The Panzer III was originally designed to fight other tanks and support the Panzer IV which was originally designed for infantry support.
But when the Germans faced the T-34 and the Panzer IV had more upgrade potential at that time, the roles of the two tanks were swapped.
But the Panzer III body still proofed to be useful for other designs, like the Flammepanzer III, Panzerbefehlswagen, Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B, and even due the Panzer III was pushed aside for the Panzer IV, it hull was used the produce one of the successful tank destroyers the Germans produced, the StuG III.
The Ausf. E was the fifth version of the Panzer III which had a redesigned suspension, with six larger roadwheels and 30 mm of armour all-round. The Ausf. F was a improved Ausf. E and was the first Panzer 3 to be mass produced, the late production would be armed with 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 main gun. Several versions would follow like the Ausf G and M.
After the production was stopped in 1943 a total of 5,774 Panzer 3's would be build and the Panzer 3 would be used until the end of the war and saw service on all fronts.
Note that the Panzer III on fire at 2:51 is the actual Panzer III now at display at the Munster Panzer Museum..

Panzer III was a beautiful machine.
I think so too, it was the best looking of the German tanks I always thought. Especially the J model.
The Panzer III you can see at 2:51 was actually send to Tunisia were it was knocked out in the field of a military cemetery in La Mornaghia, after the crew wanted to flank some British forces, the tank was hit and caught fire the crew bailed out,
it was left in the cemetery until 1971 and then send to a camp of the
Tunisian army in Enfida-Ville,from there it was send to the Central Military Cemetery in Bordj Cedria in 1977 and in 1986 it was send to Germany, but it was in a very bad condition, missing many parts, but it was restored and is now in running condition and on display at the Panzer Museum Munster.
I wonder if any of the original crew survived the war. What say you? Thanks for posting.
GREAT footage!!! Thanks for ALL the postings you've done!
You're welcome 😁 😂
As usual a very interesting footage and I didn't know at all that the tank on fire is actually at Munster Museum now, wow and it is nice to know that the crew has bailed out! Basically the last great battle with mainly the Pz.Kwg III Ausf F was at Kursk and the production ceased and from then on it was relegated in secondary roles especially if it was installed the 7.5cm KwK 37/L24 as the Pz.Kwg III Ausf. N as it was particularly useful for close support. The production of the hull continued as the StuG III until the end of the war. An interesting tank and a excellent video!👍👍
Thank you for the comment, I found the pictures and knew that I saw footage of that Panzer III so I knew I had to search true the British newsreel footage.
The knocked out panzer 3 standing among the graves of the fallen actually sorta hit hard.

Thank you for these...I love the engineering of Nazi Germany in the 30’s and 40’s. The Panzer tanks the Tiger tank the list goes on and on!!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for the comment 👍 👍
PANZER Insight no thank you 😊, I’m watching all your stuff and I love it!!
Its so fascinating that people love total garbage.
Great video and music is spot on. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. 👍 👍
Excellent compilation, thanks for your great job!
Thank you for the comment.
Too nice footage video, thanks showing how brave soliders with tanks armors progressively rushing 👍👍
You're welcome.
@@PanzerInsight thanks 👍
Panzer III be me favorite
The development of the iii/iv tanks parallels the lee/grant in that the *smaller* 37mm gun on the lee/grant was actually the one intended for anti tank use, while the 75 was meant for HE rounds against infantry, or so I read somewhere. Of course it didn't take long to realize that the 75mm was the only gun they could stop the panzer IV with. Interestingly though the comparison is a little off given that, as stated here, originally the germans intended to use a 50mm gun on the III. But they went with the 37 for the intial variants. The American 37mm had a slightly higher muzzle velocity and possibly then penetration but probably depended on the ammo used, but accounts of 37mm tank kills are few and far between.
Sadly that they waste to much time without the 50mm l60 gun!
Very good video. I like panzer 3 and 4 more as tiger or panther because they were the backbone of the german army. Everybody says that they got crushed from the t34 but i think late variants (with good crew) were as good as the t34. I hope for more such Videos
Thanks I will do more videos compilations of the StuG next and after that the Panzer IV will follow.
Nice footage video 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍 👍 👍
Die klassische Form des deutschen leichten Kampfpanzers, günstig Herzustellen, leicht Instand zusetzen und zu Warten, aber seit 1943 nicht mehr Zeitgemäß und Fronttauglich, außer für Partisanenkampf und Besatzungsaufgaben.
De perfil,me parece un tanque super hermoso y mas con capitone
Es el tanque perfecto
( hablamos de diseño)
What music is used in the middle of the vid? The list in the discription doeeeesn't really help tbh
I will look it up for you.
Why you don't play glorious Panzer Insight video background music all throughout?
I found a 3 full rounds from this tank with my metal detector

Best German tank, I think.
Yes, I you think about it, it was. like most German tanks it wasn't really outdated after the war and would have done well as a light tank.
@@PanzerInsight Thanks! Coulda used a better HEAT round in the IIIM though: didn't always work.
@George Lynch Dixon Late-war, yes, but Panzer IIIs were there from the start to the end. And were reliable. Panthers' final drives were a headache.
@George Lynch Dixon Yup, the Pzkfw IVD with the short 75mm L24 gun. Only a hundred or so though were there, in the latter. During Poland they were still being trialled.
It seems that the anti-tank guns were a bit more than the PzK II, III and IV could resist. What say you?
Even Wittman said tank destroyer is worth 5 tanks.
like for your fan from brazil
👍
Класна кинохроника особенно понравилось 1:47 "можем повторить " ,"дидивоевали" !
Morrer como Homem é o prémio da Guerra! Deus os tenham.
You have to wonder....why the Germans thought a 3.7 cm gin would be enough to tackle enemy tanks. It's amazing that they thought after facing Brit and French tanks with tank armor that the Germans could not destroy, that they would still attack the russians with tanks that only had 3.7 mm guns.
Tja Leute Deutsche Qualität, innerhalb eines Jahrzehnt. Da träumt die Welt heute noch davon.
Aus der Traum für immer.
Deutscher Maschinenbau immer noch der beste der Welt und das wird sich auch nie ändern ☝️
Its a shame that they didnt build the bigger one
Which bigger one?

Дедам поклон до земли!
Was there a Panzer III ace?
I know for sure that Michael Wittmann and Ernst Barkmann were at some point crewing Panzer III, later on were transferred to PzVI and PzV. The thing with German aces back then is that most talented men were often transferred to new tanks, usually to heavy tank companies, so when someone was doing good in PzIII then he'd usually get transferred to a heavier tank later on, before he got opportunity to "make a score" on his PzIII. Another thing is that a lot of those aces were products of propaganda, obviously heavy tank companies were central to nazi propaganda so they were always getting all the attention. It's completely possible that there were some guys in PzIIIs who were just as skilled as those driving heavy tanks, but since light-medium tanks weren't as "hot" topic for propaganda, their deeds remain unknown.
@@czwarty7878 I know there is a ww2 stug ace I believe he is adamant that he only killed 30 tanks yet is credited with 48 or somthing like that that's still impressive numbers, the best of the Russian got about 52 and the American best was about 12 or 19.
But there was a lot of Germans ace's were as the allies had few in comparison.
I know the heavy tank battalions were good but not god like but did do verry well even allied forces would avoid them when ever possible.
They got a 6.5 to 1 losse in total I believe or 12.6 if only losses to enemy actions are counted.
But I think after they become famous for kills that the units kills maybe given to that one tank but the funny thing is there are 5 people in a tank shouldn't they all be tank aces or at lest 3 or them....
Germany got about 1 tank lost for 3 enemy destroyed over all that's not an amazing number but it's the best of ww2 and they basically had that per man and plane also.
@@brianlong2334 mostly because Germans had much lower amount of tanks. They were always short on tanks so other vehicles took roles of fire support, tank hunting, recon etc. Lafayette Pool had 12 tank kills, but he also destroyed 258 light vehicle and self-propelled gun kills. This counts vehicles such as StuGs, Marders, Pumas, SdKfz251/22 w/Pak40 etc etc which were just as dangerous as tanks. He also did all that in only three months, while German aces usually racked their scores thorough whole war, like Otto Carius, who fought as tanker from 1941. Germans were also mainly on the defense, which made "ace-like" situations more probable. Note that when Germans were on the offensive, like in France or early Barbarossa, there were more allied tank aces - like Bilotte, Orlik, Kolobanov etc. Most German aces' scores came from time when they were on the defense, where it's easier to rack up kills. This of course doesn't mean that German tankers weren't good, of course they were. But allied crews usually weren't worse, they just had less opportunities to prove themselves.
About StuGs there were more than one ace. Walther Oberloskamp with 40+ tank kill count, Kurt Pfreundtner who destroyed 9 Soviet tanks in 20 minutes, Kurt Kirchner with 30+ kill count, Peter Franz whose StuG squad in short time destroyed 40+ Soviet tanks, or Finnish StuG ace Erkki Halonen who among others destroyed two ISU-152s.
@@czwarty7878 IDK about that I think I would disagree Germany had the 3rd most tanks in ww2 most of there tanks were allso deployed in the East no shocker there.
Germany produced about 49,700 tanks of all type's.
They also captured about 5,000 more most from France, most took on other roles such as armoured ammunition carriers towing veicals for plane's so forth and police duties.
Personally a tank is a tank to me if it's a stug/ spg/ AVF so on it's still a tank it's just it's designation so this tank is more specialised so for say artillery but it is used as a tank when needed as all tanks are used for.
A lot of historians love to not add anything but the main battle tank idear as tanks yet all German tanks at the same time are tanks to them.
Most German ace's raked up more kills in the long term but also even in the short term over, they also killed 100s of other vehicles 100s of AT guns so forth.
I'm not saying the allied ace's were that bad but I don't see how they would have keeped up now there woupd have bean a few but over all there wasn't even a quarter the amount of allied ace's, and most of the time the western allies were fighting under strength units.
Germany had a total of 7,300 to 16,700 tanks not deployed in the East and lost in the East.
Yet the combined UK and USA kill claims are almost 30,000 tanks.....
UK lost about 16,000 tanks And destroyed about 8,000.
The USA claims they lost 10,000 and destroyed 21,000 tanks....
I never understood the hole defensive can kill more thing it didn't work for the Japanese as an example I think people look at it to simply yes you can have less men but only the first few shots after that the enemy knows were you are and like with America it had more guns, tanks, plane's, artillery so that position is getting hit with everything now that would bring up the losses to about even or in there favour like the Pacific.
The end point yes there are 100s of german tank ace's yet all the allies are a hand full in comparison there maybe have bean better then German ones but I believe no matter how you cut it the German would have had more easily I'm not saying all there equipment was better but there tatics were easily.
Germany did far better on the offensive then the defensive.
Ww1 tatics were more the defensive one loses half as meny men ww2 there are so many other veritable to take into account, equitment, units, strength, type of equipment, terrain so forth.
It make's me wonder Germany lost WW2 and lost everything,only to become one of the world leaders in many things e.g car design with some of the best high class vehicles in the world and all done in less than 50 years after all was lost,now that just says high class as it was before WW2 i could run on about the standard of quality etc for hours.
The Best weapons for the worst Totalitarians ! Or as Eisenhower said after too many questions about German engineered Equipment “We won because our Germans (including himself) were better than their Germans , and don’t forget we were the good guys and that counts big time ! “
It is good to understand that the great problem of the German tank production was not the quality but the lack of much needed alloys hence the reason why they occupied Norway to fetch alloys from Sweden so that was partially solved but not the rare alloys like heat resistent alloys. The real problem was that there was few big factories and lack of space not to mention the continuous bombing especially from the late 1942 that it was becoming more and more problematic and exacerbated the delivery of raw materials of all kinds. It is also good to remember that the Pz.Kwg III and the VI was not particularly suitable for mass production and the production of the Pz.Kwg IV without the cannon and equipment was just slightly cheaper then the Panther. Finally to give you an idea of the havoc created by massive bombing it was estimated the loss of around 800 Königtigers that was destroyed...
That is a lot of king Tigers
@@oceanhome2023 I don't think you can say good guy's it's all Gray just in some aspects they were very gray.
@@paoloviti6156 Most the damage by bombing was in 1944 up in till then it was a small annoyance for Germany as I didn't fully mobalise behind the war till 1944 and only started to try about mid 1943 yet all of it's enemy's were fully mobalise behind the war by 1942 big mistake.
Think the number is about 300+ Tiger 1s, 657 king tiger's but about 8,400 Panthers and about 12,000 other tank types from my memory.
The mistake was not to put a better bigger gun..a terrible price in a russian invasion. ..
Most Russian tanks were vulnerable to the 37mm at the start of the war Russia had about 22,000 to 25,000 tanks at the start of oparation barbarossa And lost allmost all in 5 mounths most were light or tankette.
Also the tatics of the Russian and allies at this time and before was still more of a ww1 style not as advanced as German taticts.
Tehnika Germany gud.Но всё равно получили по заслугам.
Советская техника тоже была гуд, но потом получили по заслугам в 1991. Развалился СССР. Нету такой страны. Зато Германия есть и процветает. Так-то, раб Путина.
George Unknown. Вы идиот, Джордж. Предательство и банальное неумение комбайнёра управлять страной, вы называете «по заслугам»? Ещё не вечер.
Ceorge Unknown техника была слабая это в конце войны СССР наладили производство оружия.А Путин молодец Россию более или менее на ноги поставил после продажного Горбачева и Ельцина.Во вторых я не раб это ты раб доллара США, уже украинские земли выкупили янки на них будете дальше горбатится.В третьих я гражданин другого государства но мои предки воевали против фашистов я горжусь этим.
@@georgeunknown2833 Что к чему-то - от кого получили, были военные действия с кем-то? А от предательства и 5-й колонны ни одно государство не застраховано, так что нех злорадство разводить! И, вдогонку, ты в Германии что ли живёшь, что тут про процветание пишешь, может налоги платишь в Германии, газеты немецкие читаешь или просто был как турист и из окна слюнки пускал? ))
"Трёшка" была хороша для своего времени, для той же Польской кампании 39-го, а вот уже во Франции в 40-м у немцев возникли сложности в столкновениях с французскими танками (см. Воспоминания Гедериана) Ну, и на начало Великой Отвечественной войны, в столкновениях с Т-34 и КВ1,2 - это было просто избиение младенцев! Рабочей лошадкой Вермахта и Ваффен СС все годы Великой Отвечественной была Четвёрка, она вот и тянула немцев аж до Берлина ))
