History of the Sturmgeschütz IV

The Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV) was introduced by Germany in 1943, as a response to the increasing need for infantry support and the rising effectiveness of Soviet armored weapons on the Eastern Front. It was developed by combining the effective superstructure of the StuG III with the chassis of the popular Panzer IV tank. Production lasted until the end of 1945, with around 1,100 units built. The StuG IV was distinguished by its low profile, relatively strong armor, and a 75 mm StuK 40 L/48 gun. This artillery piece was used in all theaters of war by German armored units, including in the Battle of Kursk, as well as during defensive operations on both the Western and Eastern Fronts from 1943 to 1945.
