Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf.L was one of the later and more improved versions of the basic German army tank in the early phase of World War II. The L version featured additional armor (including 20 mm extra plating on the front hull and turret), use of the 5 cm KwK 39 L/60 gun, and upgraded mechanical components. Thanks to these improvements, the tank performed better against Soviet T-34s and KVs during the intense fighting on the Eastern Front, especially during the siege of Leningrad.
