Panzer IIIs were common German tanks in WW2, and here I talk about them, and make a few general points.

Another video (there will be more) from 'The Tank Museum' at Bovington. Why they changed the name is beyond me. I'd like to meet the branding guru who came up with that idea and administer several hard slaps. It's like changing 'Wimbledon' to 'The Tennis Competition'.
Anyway, here, in its particular shade of beige, is the tank (with a brief shot of one of its cousins), and I ramble on about various bits of it. It's all right for you - you just have to watch it once, but I had to edit this, which involves seeing each bit several times, and wading through all the footage of me droning on and on.
I use the word 'burn' to describe a H.E.A.T. round's penetrating a tank, and as several people have pointed out, this is not technically the correct word. They are right, although the word is often used in this context, and the temperatures involved are very high, but yes, I admit it: I should not have used the word 'burn'.
Yes, I am aware that the links on the end plate come in late. This is because YouTube has changed the system, which used to be flexible, to one that relies on limited templates. It doesn't enable the user to put picture links in except in the last twenty seconds of a video, and so because I added a little shot at the end, the links all start late. Possibly the new system is supposed to be more idiot-resistant than the old one. Unfortunately, this makes it an obstacle for the intelligent.

And here's a link to the video I presented for them listing my five favourite AFVs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSNNNMYmTKQ
