This may be of assistance

Just found the paint scheme for my new PzIII in a post here on the forum and it's from the Battle of Kursk. The post was actually about King Tiger camo, but it had a bonus in the PzIII info.

Ya know, stuff like this is why I always let wiki take the three bucks from my paypal account when they do their annual fund thingie. I'm a cheap buzzard and don't contribute much, but those guys are a great source of info.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Thanks for the link Max - in it I came across this video about Citadel and WWII tank production. We hear lots about German tanks being complex to maintain, but if you skip to 25 mins in there is a great breakdown of manufacturing logic and processes and why the Russians could produce many more tanks with much less in the way of resources.
