Successful Panzer III commanders?

[krichter33]

There is plenty of information on Tiger, Panther, and even Panzer IV commanders who enjoyed success with those tanks. However, I was wondering if anyone had any information, or knew sources, for successful Panzer III commanders. The fact that the Panzer III was still used extensively throughout 1943 is quite fascinating. There must have been some commanders who used this tank effectively and enjoyed success. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Without any real specifics to throw in with this post -- I can tell you that many of the well-known Tiger, Panther and Pz.IV commanders out there actually began in the Pz.III.
The Tiger abteilungen included Pz.IIIs in the beginning...
Check out the list of successful panzer commanders and check to see when they began their military service and you can probably figure out who might have had some kills as a Pz.III commander/gunner...

Thanks for the advice. That's true that a lot of them served originally with the Pz III. I'll definitely have to check the lists. Thanks.
