Historical Information

The Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.N was the last and one of the most advanced versions of the popular "Panzer III." It was primarily used by German forces, gaining particular fame in the Afrika Korps—the German armored formations operating in the African theater of operations, including sPz.Abt.501 (501st Heavy Tank Battalion). Equipped with a short-barrel KwK 37 75 mm gun, the Ausf.N was created in response to increasingly stronger Allied armor, replacing the previous, weaker 50 mm gun. Tanks of this type were mainly used during 1942–1943, mainly in battles in the North African desert, where they supported heavier Tiger tanks.
