The Ausf. L version of the German main battle tank Pz.Kpfw. III was produced from July 1942,
and possessed basic structure and performance specifications similar to previous versions.
Armament consisted of an improved, long barreled Kwk50 L/60 tank gun, which was effective
against Russian T34 tanks up to a range of 600m, plus two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns. Front
armor thickness was increased to 57mm, and 20mm thick spaced armor was added to the gun
mantlet as well. The suspension system was strengthened to cope with the 200kg of added
weight. This particular tank was part of a unit under the command of the Luftwaffe, which was
headed by the units namesake, Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering.
