In 1934, the basic concept of the newly developed "Panzerkampfwagen" provided a clear Indication of their main purpose: namely, to be used within Armored Divisions for operational warfare. The infantry, which was left without armored support, demanded a vehicle of their own. Agreeing with their demand, the German High Command placed an order on June 15. 1936 to create an armored vehicle to be used as support artillery for assault and anti-tank purposes.
Charged with the responsibility for design and development were the companies of Daimler-Benz AG of Berlin-Marienfelde for chassis and superstructure and Friedrich Krupp AG. of Essen for the armament. In its final design, the vehicle appeared as a full-tracked, turretless. fully enclosed armored vehicle, mounting a short barreled 75 mm Kwk L/24 (the main armament of the Panzer IV) In limited traverse. To accommodate these features, including a four man crew and armor protection of 10 to 50 mm, a Panzer III chassis was used.
