But when the Germans faced the T-34 and the Panzer IV had more upgrade potential at that time, the roles of the two tanks were swapped.
But the Panzer III body still proofed to be useful for other designs, like the Flammepanzer III, Panzerbefehlswagen, Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B, and even due the Panzer III was pushed aside for the Panzer IV, it hull was used the produce one of the successful tank destroyers the Germans produced, the StuG III.

The Ausf. E was the fifth version of the Panzer III which had a redesigned suspension, with six larger roadwheels and 30 mm of armour all-round. The Ausf. F was a improved Ausf. E and was the first Panzer 3 to be mass produced, the late production would be armed with 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 main gun. Several versions would follow like the Ausf G and M.

After the production was stopped in 1943 a total of 5,774 Panzer 3's would be build and the Panzer 3 would be used until the end of the war and saw service on all fronts.
