PzKpfw III Ausf. E/F (Sd. Kfz. 141)
    Copyright (C) 1996 by James Lowry (jlowry@tfb.com).

        The Panzer III E was a greatly improved version developed at about the
    same time as the D, but its redesign of certain components, such as solving
    the suspension problems that had plagued the earlier models, kept it from
    being introduced earlier.  96 Panzer III Es were built from 1938, and early
    vehicles were used in the Polish Campaign.
        The Ausf. F went into production in October 1939, and featured five
    smoke dischargers mounted in a rack on the rear of the hull.  They first
    saw service in France.
        The main armament is a 37mm anti-tank gun (crit|*|*|no|*|*|*|1/2|1)
    with AP (cr|6d*4|12|500|1 mi.) and HE (exp|6d[2d]|10|n/a|1 mi) ammunition
    and two MG34 machine guns (crit|cr|7d|19|10|1,000|3,900|15*|50) in the same
    mount in the turret, and another on the front of the hull.  The turret is
    motor-driven or turned with a hand crank.

    Elliot and Hilary Doyle as reference.
