Historical Description and Use

The StuG III Ausf. G and StuH 42 are German self-propelled guns that played a significant role during World War II. The StuG III (Sturmgeschütz III) was the primary German assault gun used from 1940–1945 by the Wehrmacht on all fronts. The Ausf. G version was the most widely produced, featuring improved crew protection including so-called “skirts” (Schürzen), a new type of commander’s cupola, and additional armor modifications. The StuH 42 (Sturmhaubitze 42), on the other hand, was developed in response to the need to support infantry with a 105 mm caliber weapon ideal for destroying fortifications. Both vehicles served mainly on the Eastern Front, Western Front, and in Italy until the end of the war.
