When Hitler unleashed Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union in June 1941, the 23-tonne Panzer III was
in the vanguard of the German assault. It saw widespread use during the Second World War in campaigns that
included Poland, France, the Soviet Union, the Balkans, North Africa and Normandy. Centrepiece of the Haynes
Panzer III Tank Manual is the Bovington Tank Museum’s PzKpfw III Ausf L, which has been restored to running
condition. Full coverage is given of the tank’s design, construction, war service and the restoration of the Tank
Museum’s Ausf L version.
