Pz Kpfw III Ausf N (D.A.K.)

The Ausf N was produced between June 1942 and August 1943 fitted with the short barrel 7.5cm KwK 37 L/24 gun. This fired a more effective high explosive shell. The Ausf N was popular with ground troops resulting in the remaining Ausf M's on order being completed as Ausf N instead. In all, around 700 were produced. In service, 10 Pz Kpfw III Ausf N provided close support to 9 Tiger I or were used in Panzer Regiments in the same way as short barrel Pz Kpfw IV.
