History:

The Sturmgeschütz III was one of the most produced vehicles of the German Army during the Second World War. The StuG III Ausf. G faced its trial by fire during Operation Citadel, the German Counteroffensive concentrated in the region around the Kursk salient. Here, the StuG perfectly adapted itself as a versatile fighting vehicle, being used for both infantry support and anti-tank purposes. Its low silhouette and strong frontal armor combined with its excellent gun made the StuG III a formidable ambushing vehicle, while its abundancy on the front lines together gave the vehicle a strong combat performance record compared to the new Panthers and Ferdinands also used at Kursk.

The StuG III overall was an extremely important vehicle for the German army, especially during the closing stages of the war where resources were scarce. It had an excellent combat record, was well-designed, cheap to produce, and was reliable in the eyes of its crew and its troops, keeping the Whermacht a formidable fighting force until the very end of the war.
