Easy Model 36139 StuG III Ausf. C/D Sonderverband 288 Africa 1942

For the game STRATAK BATTLES PANZERSCHLACHT.

  • In 1935 the later General Field Marshal von Manstein requested a gun on a motor carriage for infantry support, but this request was delayed to build up a powerful tank army.
  • The attack of Poland showed that it should have been a good decision to build these assault guns.
  • In the war against France the first Sturmgeschuetz (assault gun) batteries prooved to be succesful, so the production was supported.
  • Assault guns support infantry to destroy enemy fortifications, bunkers, tanks, etc.
  • The Sturmgeschuetz III (StuG III) was based on a Panzer (tank) III but it did not have a turret which resulted in a low silhouette.
  • In 1940 it had the strongest front armour and a powerful gun.
  • 9310 StuG III were build until the end of world war II. Added by another 1202 StuG III/IV and 299 StuH III, the total amount was 10811 of this tank type.
  • The Sturmgeschuetz III was built between 1940 and 1945 and was the most produced armoured fighting vehicle of Germany.
  • Sturmgeschuetz assault guns knocked out more than 20.000 enemy tanks in world war II.

Sturmgeschuetz tanks are displayed in many tank museums, for example (without guaranty, as museum tanks are sometimes lent to other museums, restored or maintained):

  • Militärhistorisches Museum, Dresden, Germany
  • Panzermuseum, Munster, Germany
  • Technikmuseum, Sinsheim, Germany
  • Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung, Koblenz, Germany
  • Tank Museum, Bovington (incl. finnish „Sturmi“), South England
  • Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, USA
  • Belgrad Military Museum, Serbia
  • Yad La-Shiryon Tank Museum, Latrun, Israel

At the war and peace revival show in south England (Folkestone racecourse, rail station Westenhanger) you can usually see StuG III replicas in action.
