DESCRIPTION Panzer III E

The Panzer III Ausf. E saw primary frontline service between 1939 and 1941–1942. The vast majority of these tanks—originally featuring 30 mm of armor—were destroyed, withdrawn from frontline combat units, or converted and modernized (notably rearmed with a 50 mm gun or transformed into command and observation vehicles) between 1941 and 1943, as their 37 mm guns became obsolete. However, some derivative chassis survived and served in secondary or training roles until 1944–1945.

96 units produced between december 1938 and october 1939.

The conversion into *Tauchpanzer* (making the hulls watertight for underwater operation) took place specifically between June and October 1940 in preparation for Operation Sea Lion.

o   3.7 cm KwK L/45 short-barreled gun
