About the German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. B

Germany's versatile Stug III was originally designed as an
assault weapon, however also came to be used as a weapon of
defense as the war progressed, providing both assault gun and
anti-tank support. Based on the durable Panzer III chassis, the
Stug III featured a monoblock structure with an L24 75mm short
barreled gun mounted directly to the hull, eliminating the
revolving turret and reducing overall height. The Ausf. B was the
first truly mass produced Stug III with 250 produced from June
1940. Featuring wide tracks and powered by a 230hp Maybach HL 120
TRM engine the Ausf. B boasted a top speed of 40km/h. The Ausf.
B saw action during the Balkans campaign in April 1941 and
Operation Barbarossa in June, 1941. The simple construction
leading to low costs and easy mass production made the Stug III
one of Germany's most produced armored vehicles with over 10,000
produced during WWII.
