Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. K
#61457

Description:
This tank was developed on the basis of the later Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf. J chassis, combining it with the Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf. F2 turret and a 75 mm gun. The first design plans were completed by the end of December 1941. Manufacturing began, but the vehicle proved too complex and production was soon canceled. A total of 50 vehicles were completed and used as command vehicles. They featured 50 mm guns—the 75 mm guns were never mounted.
