Historical Description

The Sturmgeschütz III, also known as the StuG III, was a German self-propelled gun built on the chassis of the Panzer III tank. The versions designated as Ausf. A-E were equipped with the short-barreled StuK 37 75 mm gun – typical for the early period of the war. The StuG III was used by the Wehrmacht on all fronts of World War II, from the campaign in France in 1940, through Operation Barbarossa, to the defense of the Reich in 1945. Widely used for infantry support, bunker busting, and urban combat, it formed the backbone of German assault gun units between 1940 and 1942.
