About the Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G Early Version
Of the many assault guns utilized by the Germans in WWII, the
most numerous was the Sturmgeschutz III. Based on the durable
Panzer III chassis with a completely new superstructure, the
revolving turret was eliminated and the short barreled 75mm L/24
gun was mounted directly onto the hull, giving the StuG III an
extremely low vehicle profile. Originally intended for close
infantry fire support, it was used as self-propelled artillery
against enemy strong points. However, when the German forces
encountered the Russian KV-I and T-34 tanks on the Eastern front,

the situation abruptly changed. To cope with this Russian tank
threat, the Germans were forced to upgrade their existing weapons

systems. The resulting StuG III Ausf.G, built from late 1942
onwards, used a more powerful, long barreled 75mm L/48 gun.
