History

The Sturmgeschütz (StuG) III was a turretless armoured vehicle built on the Panzer III chassis, equipped with a powerful 75mm high-velocity gun. This configuration offered significant firepower while maintaining a low silhouette, making it highly effective in both attack and defence roles. The StuG III was widely deployed across various theatres during the Second World War, establishing itself as one of the most successful German armoured vehicles of the era. In addition to German forces, countries such as Finland and Romania also utilised these assault guns, highlighting their adaptability and effectiveness in combat.
