The PzKpfw III (Panzerkampfwagen III) is a German medium tank
designed by Daimler-Benz AG. The first tests of the vehicle took
place in 1936. The construction of the PzKpfw III consisted of four
main modules: the turret, the front of the hull, the rear of the
hull with the engine compartment cover and the lower hull. The
first version of PzKpfw III – Ausf. A – was produced in May
1937. Soon after, the Ausf. B and C versions also entered
production. Ausf. D version was introduced in January 1938. Early
PzKpfw III models were prototype vehicles and were not suitable for
mass production on a large scale. They were powered by Maybach HL
108 TR petrol engines with 250 HP. They were armed with 37mm guns
and three MG-34 machine guns (two in the turret and one in the
hull).
