Crusader I
Crusader I was one of the primary British cruiser tanks during the early part of the Second World War and made important contributions to the British victories during the North African Campaign. The Crusader I variant was fitted with a 2-pounder (57mm) main gun. The design was to prove vital during the Battle of El Alamein at Tobruk and in Tunisia. The Crusader tank didn’t see active service beyond Africa and would be replaced by M3 Grant and Sherman medium tanks.
Panzer III Ausf. J
Panzer III Ausf. J is the most common version of Panzer III which saw fighting in Russia and North Africa. It was equipped with a short-barreled 50mm gun. Ausf. J fared well in fighting against British Crusader cruiser and US-supplied M3 Stuart light tanks. However, it was less effective against heavy armored Matilda II tanks. The production stopped in 1942.
