	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.

	During the 1930s as Germany continued to recover from the Great Depression, German industry was starting to build tanks in preparation for war. The Panzer III was actually an early 30s design, but was delayed due to the inadequate state of German heavy industry at the time. By the latter part of the decade, industry had progressed enough to begin mass manufacture of the Panzer III and their cousin, the Panzer IV.

	The Panzer III series saw limited combat in Poland, but first made its name in France, where the French and British heavy tanks were more than a match for the pitiful 20mm cannons of the Panzer II's. The improved firepower of the 37mm guns employed by the Panzer III, along with the higher relative mobility made it the perfect weapon for use with the Blitzkrieg tactics employed by the Wehrmacht.

The improved firepower of the 37mm guns employed by the Panzer III, along with the higher relative mobility made it the perfect weapon for use with the "Blitzkrieg" tactics employed by the Wehrmacht.

	However, the Panzer showed its age rather quickly with the introduction of the T-34, KV-1, and M4 Sherman, which carried enough firepower to wipe Panzer IIIs off the battlefield and could easily absorb firepower from the puny 37mm cannons utilized by most German Panzers. It was this inadequacy that spawned the production of the Panzer V, along with a complete reorganization of roles, with the Panzer III switching from a mainline battle tank to a Infantry Support tank, while their cousins the Panzer IV picked up the slack. The Ausf. N and Ausf. J variants were both introduced specifically to give extra armor pentration due to the lacking performance of the 37mm, and even 50mm guns that other variants had been upgraded to.
