Tank Modeling Guide 8

The German Army, which focused on the creation of armored units to dispel the humiliation of World War I, developed its Panzer III main tank and carried out a blitzkrieg with the support of the Air Force in the European continent during World War II. This Panzer III emphasized mobility, adopted innovative technology, adopted a five-crewman system that maximizes the capabilities of the crew, and fought fiercely even if it became slightly inferior from the middle of the war.
