@@alan6832 The standard British co-axial machinegun for tanks., the 7.92 BESA, used the 7.92 x 57 Mauser cartridge, so they had some ammo production capability devoted to a standard German cartridge. The US and UK are not good examples for captured use, because they possessed and produced sufficient equipment for their needs or had no amount of captured equipment to speak of. The Germans were never able to produce enough stuff, so they were glad to capture usable equipment. After the evacuation of Dunkirk, the Germans captured enough British 3.7" heavy AA guns to justify manufacturing ammunition for them. Of course, the ammunition was abandoned with the guns, so the Germans were able to carefully measure enough pieces to estimate the design characteristics and the allowable range of tolerances.

Thanks. Good topic. I don't remember ever seeing the 122 version. It is interesting to note the Soviets were really impressed with the Panzer III Germany gave the SU before the war. It was a major influence that led to the T 34M ... which could have been the iconic Soviet tank the Germans would have faced if Barbarossa had happened a year or so later. I've read many German tankers preferred the Panzer III even to the Panzer IV for comfort and dependability. It seems to me the Panzer III was the German workhorse in Barbarossa... there were just not enough Panzer IVs and the Panzer III then , was about as good as IT could get in armor and Gun. Germany needed every piece of rolling stock .. tracked and wheeled it could get so it pressed everything useful into service. . I think we tend to forget in the first part of the war , all countries were stressed to find really good weapons . Most of the weapons they had were designed for another era of warfare .

although any adoption of a captured enemy vehicle and adapting a domestic main weapon in a fixed superstructure mounting is bound to result in a "cluster-fuck" vehicle, it at least represents a cheap way of getting a large field gun onto the battlefield with mobility. All sides made use of re-purposed enemy equipment, or produce their own copies. Building their own modification of a Panzer III or StuGIII made sense, because although, save for the Panzer IIIN, that used the turret from the A or D models of the Panzer IV with its short L24 75 mm weapon, effectively swapping the original roles of the Panzer III versus Panzer IV, the "III" was retired as the Panzerwaffe's medium tank, in favor of the up-gunned Panzer IVs, there were relatively large numbers of StuG IIIs with the long 75mm (L43 or L48) gun. Obviously the Soviets figured on captured enough German stock to keep their Su 76i or Su 122i vehicles running. Given the same logistical problems of supplying ordnance and keeping the engines and drive trains going, let alone front line "friendly fire", the Germans didn't use T-34s themselves in quite the relative proportions "as is", though they made up most of the "Beute-Panzers" they did use on the Eastern Front. In the West, it was a different story, there was actually a sort of "bounty" for capturing any M4 Sherman intact. But they did make free use of captured Soviet ARTILLERY pieces; even producing ordnance for Soviet-made 76.2 mm, 122 mm, and 152 mm guns. In the case of the 76.2 mm weapon, the Germans even re-tooled them to accept the longer German-style tank rounds, and used these rather cumbersome pieces on re-purposed Panzer II and 38(t) tank chassis. The latter, which was deemed Marder III, was an even more extreme example of the forced resourcefulness of the German war production, since it was derived from the original Czech 38(t) vehicle, being too good for the Germans to not find further roles!

Communist vandalism of nice equipment 😆 I consider myself a big tank nerd and am pretty knowledgeable on the subject of armoured vehicles, but I'd never seen these before. I've seen soviet captured German equipment and knew about the plans to install British and American tanks with soviet guns, but I never knew there was conversions of stugs and panzer iii's There is always something new to learn which is super interesting when it comes to tanks and military history in general.
