The Sturmgeschutz/StuG III is the vehicle on the left carrying panzergrenadiers, it was originally designed for infantry support, andlater used as an assault gun in the anti-tank role.The vehicle was very successful and served on all fronts, had a low silouette and were easy to camouflage, over 20,000 enemy tanks were destroyed by the spring of 1944.About 10,000 were built of all variants, by 1945 about 1280 StuG IIIs were left. Sturmgeschutz:German for "Assault Gun" POST-WAR: The USSR captured stocks of StuG IIIs many were refurbished, along with other types of German equipment sold or given to Syriaand other Middle East Countries.
