Panzer III Ausf. J Control Tank
Mass production of this tank began in 1939 and by August 1943, when production ceased, 6000 had been built. Initially, it was armed with a 37mm gun, but as the allies were increasing the size of the weaponry of their tanks - and after much badgering by German Army Generals - the calibre of the main gun was increased to 50mm.

Schurtzen, and applique armor were additions to this tank as the war progressed and a number of conversions, such as Sturmhaubitze, Flammenwerfer, and Sturmschutz III, kept the Panzer III chassis well employed after its use as a battle tank was over.

Borgward IV Ausf. B
The need for a remotely controlled vehicle for clearing gaps in mine fields was recognized by the German forces after the Polish campaign. A contract was issued to the Borgward Company to produce a tracked vehicle, to tow mine detonating rollers. The vehicle (Sdkfz 300) weighed 1.5 tons and was powered by a 4-cylinder engine. 50 were produced between January and May of 1940. A further contract was awarded to build a slightly larger vehicle powered by a 6 cylinder, 49hp engine, weighing 2.3 tons, and designated the "B2"

The "B1V" was developed to to carry an explosive charge of 500kgs and deliver it to a target by remote control, where the charge was dropped. The vehicle was then reversed and the charge detonated remotely by the control tank.

The vehicle was designated "Sprengladungstrager" (Sdkfz 301). Tigers (sdkfz181/182), StuG 111(Sdkfz 142) and (Pzkpfw111) were used as command/control tanks in a number of Companies designated "Funklenk". These Companies saw action on the Eastern Front, Kursk, Anzio, the Ardennes, and Normandy.
