The Ausf. J was a later series development of the Panzer III.
This represented a significant advance over earlier models.
A slightly redesigned hull allowed for increased armor protection and a new gun mantlet made it easier to install the more powerful 50mm KwK 38 L42 gun.
When this variant of the Panzer III entered service with the Panzer divisions on the Eastern Front, they struggled to compete with the heavily armed Soviet KV-1 and T-34 tanks.
The Ausf. J was the most widely produced variant of this tank.
