Germany similarly offered to supply Türkiye with armour, leading to a purchase of 35 Panzer IIIs and 35 Panzer IVs (along with ammunition and spare parts) in 1943. These numbers paled in comparison to the nearly 500 tanks delivered by the UK. The total number of Panzers ultimately received by Türkiye still remains somewhat of a mystery. The Panzer IIIs and IVs that were delivered were known as the T-3 and T-4 in Turkish Army service, and operated alongside German Einheits-Pkws acquired several years prior. Due to a lack of spare parts and the small numbers in service, the T-3s and T-4s were retired in the late 1940s.
