Runyan99 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 The PzIIIF carries the 37mm gun, and the PzIIIG has the upgraded 50mm gun. As it concerns the Afrika Korps, when and how did this conversion occur? I am particularly interested in April 1941. How many were PzIIIFs and how many were PzIIIGs at this time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War Two, Chamberlain, Doyle, & Jentz, some Es and Fs were rearmed with the 50mm L/42. One hudred of the Fs even came from the factory with the 50/42. In addition, 50 of the Gs were originally armed with the 37/46.5 but were subsequently up-gunned. I think the main point though as far as CM:AK is concerned is that unless someone presents documentary evidence to the contrary, it appears that all the Mk. IIIs that made it to NA had the 50mm gun.
