Description

The Sturmgeschütz III (Sd. Kfz. 142) was the most widely produced AFV by Germany WWII. Using the Panzer III hull and employing a larger gun in a turretless top section, this tank was an excellent infantry support weapon. Later on, the need to combat the masses of enemy tanks on the battlefield brought the requirement for a powerful Anti-tank gun to be added to the hull. The mix off assault gun and anti-tank gunned StuG III’s became one of the mainstays of the German armed forces.
One of the earlier variants of the StuG III was the Ausf.C, which was identified by an improved superstructure that eliminated a shot trap near the gunner’s view port. A total of 50 StuG III Ausf.C vehicles, each weighing 20.2 tons and featuring a 7.5cm StuK37 L/24 gun, were produced between May and September of 1941. Kit 2 in 1 allowing two versions guns.
