Panzer III: Versatile Stalwart of The Panzer Force

Показать описание

See inside the Panzer III and discover the story of the most numerous German armoured fighting vehicle of World War II.

Intended as the German Army’s main gun tank, with its brother, the Panzer IV, acting as support, the Panzer III fought in Europe and North Africa but was effectively obsolete by 1942 in the face of better opposition like the Soviet T-34.

So the two changed places – an up gunned Panzer IV becoming the gun tank with the Panzer III - now with a short barreled 75mm gun- in the support role. This wouldn’t last long - but the Panzer III chassis would form the basis of the highly successful Stug III.

It cannot be denied that German armoured vehicles looked so cool!

Panzer III.
A very underrated tank. When people talk about WW II tanks, everyone seems to focus on Panthers, Tigers, Shermans, T-34, occasional Char B.
But it is easy to forget how good Panzer III was early in the war. It might not have been revolutionary so to speak, but the combination of advanced features at the time made it exceptional as far as early war vehicles go.

You can see a Lifetime of hard Work with Metal, Oily and Vehicle-Electronics on the Hands of this Aged Gentleman. He seems slim, but his Hands are big, Strong and Textured.
My biggest Respect =)

With the long barrel 5cm it's the most aesthetically pleasing tank of all times.

Great video, love the editing!

Panzer III was a pretty good vehicle, it was probably one of the best in terms of crew comfort and effectiveness for an individual tank unit. The use of the chassis for the StuG III proves that it was highly reliable. Great to see this one still running, hope to visit the tank museum some day.

Thank you Mr. Hayton for your hard work and care for such a nice piece of history.
Nice jacket as well!🤘🏻😎

The Valentine deserves a reloaded video. An underrated tank that even Soviets liked, to the point where they asked for more even in 1943.

Amazing to have the museum “old guard” like Mike give feedback on the original restoration and the challenges.

Our museums and their operational collections today are built on the shoulders of the years of hard work of experts and enthusiasts like Mike.

Great video
