Description
The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) assault gun was Germany’s most-produced armored fighting vehicle during WWII. It was built on the chassis of the proven Panzer III tank, replacing the turret with a fixed casemate and mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as a mobile, armored light gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer casemate-styled specialist armored vehicles was widely employed as a tank destroyer.
