| Panzer III Medium Tank. The Panzer III emerged as one of the formative images of German military success in the newsreels produced by the Propaganda Ministry, documenting the Blitzkrieg victories of the early war years. While proving adequate to the task of countering allied armour in France and the Western desert, the fateful encounter with the superior Soviet T-34 tank, following the invasion of Russia in 1941, revealed the technical shortcomings of the Panzer III. Its days as a battle tank were numbered, but it could still be seen serving in the East as a command tank until 1944, and in other secondary theatres such as Norway until the German surrender. DVD. .

| Red Steel at Kamenewo, Mtsensk, Central Front, Russia, 6th October 1941 by David Pentland. Following the capture of Orel, the German High Command ordered General Heinz Guderians panzers to push on towards Mtsensk, Tuila and Moscow. Alarmed at the situation Stalin deployed Major General Leyushenko to halt this advance. the battle was finally joined when when the 4th Panzer Division crossed the Lisiza stream at Kamenewo, pushing back the dug in defenders towards Mtsensk, but unaware they had entered a Soviet trap. at this point the T34s and KV1s of Colonel Katukovs 4th tank Brigade attacked from the woods on the Panzers left flank smashing the out gunned and weaker armoured PzIII tanks and half tracks. For the Germans the battle was a terrible shock, stalling their advance and an unexpected demonstration of Soviet armoured superiority. During the battle Lt Lavrinienko, with his platoon of four T34s supported by three KV1s under Sgt Antonov knocked out eleven enemy tanks, plus a pair of artillery guns (squashed under the tracks of the KVs) In his short two month career, Lt Lavinienko knocked out some fifty two enemy tanks!

| Panzer IV Heavy Tank. In continuous production from 1936 until 1945, the Panzer IV was the armoured workhorse of the German Army in the Second World War. Designed originally as a heavy support tank for its stable mate, the lighter Mark III in the Panzer divisions, it became one of the key instruments of the Blitzkrieg victories, in the early war years. This programme traces the long history of this most versatile of German tanks, and documents a combat career that finally ended with the destruction of the last Mark IVs in Syrian service by the Israeli Army on the Golan Heights in 1967.

commanders of all time he led his mixed force of PzIVs and Tiger 1s on a
series of successful battles to form a northern pincer around Kharkov,
vital to the retaking of the city. For his exploits he was awarded the
swords to his Knights Cross.
THE BATTLE - Battle of Gazala The most convincing defeat of the British forces during the whole desert campaigns
of World War Two. The front line ran south from the coastal town of Gazala,
about 95 km west of Tobruk, to the oasis of Bir Hacheim. In May 1942 Field
Marshal Rommel launched an attack against Gazala using two diversionary Italian
corps at the north end of the line while the two other corps (the Afrika and
Italian corps) corps veered towards Tobruck from the southern end of the line.
Although surprised the British forces fought well, inflicting heavy casualties
on the German forces and cornering them. Finding himself trapped between a minefield
and the British defences, Rommel was on the verge of surrender. The Italian
Trieste Division, however, were able to create a supply route through the minefield
to the cornered German forces allowing them to be take on supplies. Helped by
British indecision, Rommel managed to break through the Cauldron area and overwhelm
the British defences. The British counter attack was confused and useless, easily
defeated by the German forces who then continued onto Tobruk. Rommel defeated
many British forces on the way and eventually the British abandoned their positions
and retreated to the El Alamein line.
