The Panzer III and Valentine tanks, two of the most numerous British and German tank types from 1941 to 1943, are the focus of a unique comparison in this work. While much attention has been given to the Panzer III, the Valentine tank has received relatively less attention. This study aims to compare the strengths and weaknesses of these iconic tanks, which frequently engaged in fierce battles across Europe, Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia. The work documents the upgrades made to each AFV type over three years, as up-gunned and up-armoured variants arrived in North Africa.

Dr. Bruce Newsome delves into the encounters between the two tanks, from the initial Valentine vs. Panzer III clashes in 1941 to the Axis drive into Egypt and the Tunisian fighting of 1942–1943. Colour artworks include profile, weaponry, and gunsight views of both tanks, as well as battlescene views. Maps chart the campaigns in which they met.

In addition to the comparative analysis, the work provides detailed coverage of each AFV's performance, including technical details, design evolution, and crew histories. The Panzer III and Valentine tanks played significant roles in the Second World War, and this work sheds light on their respective contributions to the conflict.

Overall, this work offers a comprehensive and insightful comparison between the Panzer III and Valentine tanks, providing a valuable addition to the literature on these iconic military vehicles.
