The Panzer III was the most overall best German tank through the early-to-mid-war period, and on the Eastern Front it was the best available in numbers in 1941 when Operation Barbarossa commenced. The Panzer III quickly runs up against problems if faced with a T-34/76, but against anything else the Soviets have Mid War, it does well.

A specialized variant of this tank was used in limited numbers, the Flammpanzer III, to burn out hardened structures and other particularly tenacious defenders who didn't like the Nazis barging right into their country. It loses much of its effective range and all of its anti-armor firepower, however, as the main cannon is swapped out for a heavy flamethrower, meaning your Flammpanzer III's will need constant support in order to advance and destroy their opponents with flame.
