The Pzkpfw Ill was the most effective tank available to the German
army in North Africa during the battles of 1941. It outnumbered all
the other types in service with the Afrikakorps at that time and
when compared to the Pzkpfw I and Pzkpfw II designs it was a
potent, modern weapons system. Although less heavily armoured than
its British opponents it was sturdy and reliable and its main
armament was the equal of any enemy anti-tank gun it was called
upon to face. This volume of the TankCraft series, the first of two
parts, examines the story of the tank's North African service
beginning with the arrival of Panzer-Regiment 5 in Tripoli and
ending with the advance to El Alamein in late 1942. Dennis Oliver
uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations
to examine the Pzkpfw Ill and the Panzer units that took part in
the early battles in North Africa. A key section of his book
displays available model kits and aftermarket products,
complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and painted
models in various scales. Technical details as well as
modifications introduced during production and in the field are
also examined, providing everything the modeller needs to recreate
an accurate representation of these historic tanks.
