Panzer III M Tank (side skirts

The Panzer III Ausführung M was a late production version of Germany’s main early-war medium-tank family, retaining a long-barreled 50 mm gun. It incorporated improvements including arrangements for deeper wading. Schürzen side skirts were added to many late Panzer III vehicles as supplementary protection; these thin plates did not turn the vehicle into a heavily armored tank. The side skirts protected selected hull and turret areas rather than forming a continuous thick outer wall. Their appearance could change as plates were damaged or removed. The Ausführung M remained part of a family increasingly displaced in the main tank role by more heavily armed vehicles, while some Panzer III derivatives continued in specialized service.
