Panzer III: German Army Light Tank, Operation Barbarossa, 1941\.
TankCraft 27\. The Pzkpfw III tank was the mainstay of the Panzer
divisions during the Blitzkrieg era, which could fairly be said to
have ended with the Germans' failure to take Moscow in the winter
of 1941\. Although less heavily armoured than many of its opponents
and somewhat outgunned by the latest Soviet types, the Pzkpfw III
was at the forefront of the advances made over almost impossible
distances during the summer and autumn and provided the core of the
armoured reserve that fought the defensive battles of the winter
months. In Dennis Oliver's latest volume in the TankCraft series he
uses archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations
to examine the Pzkpfw III and the units that operated this
deservedly famous armoured vehicle along a 1,000-mile front during
the battles of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the
Soviet Union. 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.
