Panzer III with Mounted Infantry

A Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.J is shown here. The sides of the hull were extended and drilled for tow hooks and the armor basis was increased to 50mm. Note also that lengths of track were stored on any surface possible as extra protection against Soviet anti-tank rifles. This panzer seems to have some friends in the infantry who appreciate its presence in their area of operations.
