Panzer III reading material
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2014 4:36 pm
So I'm planning on the build after the Leo 2A6 is done. I'm wanting to finally getting round to a PZIII. It will likely be the Mato L version, so I can solder PE directly to it, and probably powered by Elmod. However apart from the two Panzer tracts books on the PzIII and "Panzer in the Sand", I'm completely devoid of reading and reference material on Panzer IIIs. For such a ubiquitous tank, very little appears to be written about it.
Any good suggestions on reference books? Not sure if I will do an Africa Corps PzIII or Russian front yet. As most of the Heavy Tank Battalions were initially issued Panzer IIIs, I'm contemplating doing a 502 ABT Panzer III to sit with my Tiger 1. However I'm missing any information on what versions these PzIIIs were or looked like (J, M or L? Skirts?). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
