The Pzkpfw III tank was the mainstay of the Panzer divisions during
the Blitzkrieg era and made up the bulk of the armoured force sent
to North Africa. Although less heavily armoured than many of its
opponents it was sturdy and reliable and its main armament was the
equal of any enemy weapon it was called upon to face. Operating in
one of the most inhospitable environments on earth the Pzkpfw III
was at the forefront of the dramatic advances of 1941 and the
defensive efforts of the following year, all undertaken in the
incredible vastness of the Libyan desert. This volume of the
TankCraft series concludes the story of the tank's North African
service, examining the models that took part in the campaign
beginning with the retreat from El Alamein and ending with the
surrender of the last Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943. Using
archive photos and extensively researched colour illustrations to
examine the Pzkpfw III and the units that operated this deservedly
famous armoured vehicle during the final 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.
