HISTORY ASPECTS: During the North African campaign of World War II, the Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.N with Extra Oil Drum and Wooden Box was a prominent feature of the Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) s.Pz.Abt.501, operating in Tunisia from 1942 to 1943. This variant of the Panzer III, equipped with additional storage provisions such as extra oil drums and wooden boxes, was tailored to the desert conditions encountered in the harsh terrain of North Africa. The s.Pz.Abt.501 played a crucial role in the Axis defense of Tunisia against Allied forces, engaging in numerous armored engagements and contributing to the overall Axis war effort in the region. Throughout the Tunisian campaign, the Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.N with Extra Oil Drum and Wooden Box saw action in a variety of defensive and offensive operations, including battles at Kasserine Pass, El Guettar, and Medenine. Despite facing challenges such as supply shortages, mechanical breakdowns, and Allied air superiority, the Panzer III Ausf.N proved to be a reliable and adaptable combat vehicle, capable of holding its own against Allied tanks and infantry. The s.Pz.Abt.501, operating as part of the Afrika Korps under the command of General Erwin Rommel, demonstrated tenacity and resilience in the face of adversity, earning a reputation as a formidable adversary on the battlefield. Featuring accurate details and markings based on historical documentation, this 1:72 scale model pays homage to the brave crews of the s.Pz.Abt.501 who fought valiantly in the deserts of North Africa. Whether displayed as a collector's item or used for tabletop wargaming, this replica captures the essence of one of the most iconic German tanks of World War II, commemorating the sacrifices made by those who served aboard the Panzer III Ausf.N during the North African campaign.
