	Achtung Panzer! - Sturmgeschütz III/IV
		Stug III was one of a series of assault guns/tank destroyers produced by the Germans during the war.
		In 1942, with the introduction of long-barrelled Stug III (75mm L/43 and L/48), Sturmgeschuetz Abteilungen were reformed and number of assault guns was increased to 28 per battalion.
		Stug III Ausf E was the first of the series to be provided with 7.92mm MG34, which was carried inside the superstructure for local defense.

	StuG III - SdKfz 142, SdKfz 142/1 - historia konstrukcji - Panzerwaffe 1933-45
		Z poprzedniej wersji StuG-i Ausf.G przejęły bez większych zmian uzbrojenie główne, zawieszenie, kadłub oraz układy napędowy i przeniesienia mocy.
		Najbardziej charakterystyczną modyfikacją pozwalającą na pierwszy rzut oka odróżnić pojazdy StuG III Ausf.G od wozów poprzednich wersji była siedmio-peryskopowa wieżyczka obserwacyjna dowódcy.
		Ponadto 165 pojazdów skonstruowano między lutym i listopadem 1943 roku wykorzystując podwozia czołgów PzKpfw III Ausf.M (wyróżnikiem tych pojazdów był układ wydechowy znajdujący się tak jak w PzKpfw III Ausf.M na tylnej płycie kadłuba), zaś 173 StuG-i Ausf.G powstały z czołgów PzKpfw III różnych wersji remontowanych w 1944 roku w zakładach Alkett.

	Stug III G - Red Orchestra Forums
		The Stug III G was an improvement over the F/8 it featured a commander's cupola for better visiblity and an mg (first a 34 then a 42) to cover the tank from infantry threats.
		The Stug III G's Mg is for use against infantry not the airforce since it had poor elevation.
		Not all StuG III G were fitted with the pigs head mantlet, but some earlier vehicles were, if they'd gone on for repairs or been recalled.

	pirespreto.com :: Stug III Ausf. G
		The Sturmgeschütz III originated from an initial proposal that Colonel Erich von Manstein submitted to General Beck in 1935 in which he suggested that Sturmartillerie (Assault Artillery) units should be used in a direct-fire support role for infantry divisions.
		As the StuG III was intended to fill an anti-infantry close support combat role, early models were fitted with a low-velocity 75 mm StuK 37 L/24 gun, firing high explosive shells.
		After the Germans encountered the Soviet T-34, the StuG III were armed with the high-velocity 75 mm StuK 40 L/43 (Spring 1942) or 75 mm L/48 (Autumn 1942) anti-tank gun.

		They were constructed on the chassis of PzKpfw III Ausf B. Instead of a turret on the tank have put a unrotative cabin with 75-mm gun StuK 37 L/24 and 40 shells ammo.
		Some StuG III Ausf E were used in battles up to the end of war.
		StuG IV was in manufacture from autumn 1943 up to autumn 1944, then it was replaced to Anti-tank self-propelled gun Jagdpanzer IV.

		StuG III (early) are ausf A-E, StuG III (late) are F, F/S and G. Also, I have deliberately omitted the specific details for the 105mm versions of the StuG — known as the StuH (StuH 42).
		However, as the StuG was considered artillery, the command for these units attached to the Panzer or Panzergrenadier divisions was separate from the division.

		In contrast to the tank hulls, the hull side escape hatches were deleted, and the access hatches on the hull front were hinged at the sides.
		The final drives of the StuG and Pz.Kpfw.III were strengthened in mid-1944 to compensate for the increase in weight of later designs.
		These vehicles were fitted with the current StuG superstructure on top of the basic tank chassis, and applique armor was bolted to the hull.

	Armorama :: Tank aces Wittmann's Stug III A
		On 12 July, Wittmann's StuG III was ordered to move to a vantage point on a hill, designated Point 65.5.
		As the StuG III was not equipped with a rotating turret, all of the responsibility was placed on the driver Koldenhöff, who with consummate skill quickly rolled the vehicle into a suitable vantage point, allowing Klinck to obtain an accurate bead on a second T34/76, which was quickly engulfed in flames.
		III to within 500 metres of the last Soviet Panzer, Klinck, quickly reacting to Wittmann's command, let off a round of 75mm armour-piercing shot, which found its way to the Russian vehicle with a resounding crack.

		This deals with the events leading to the creation of the Stug type and also includes colour plates with every emblem for the many units that used the Stug III during WWII.
		Using many wartime photos this section chronicles the development of the StuG III from the Ausf.A through to the Ausf.G as well as the many variations on each type.
		The uniforms worn by StuG crews is detailed in this section with a few wartime photos as well as colour illustrations of the rank insignia worn with a preserved uniform worn on a live ‘model’ which gives excellent details of the colours and uniform details.

		The armor of the earlier StuG was increased and a longer 7.5cm L/48 Kanone mounted to regain superiority over the new Russian tanks.
		Originally designed for infantry support, the up-gunned versions of the StuG III were used in an anti-tank role.
		The main gun was mounted to a fixed superstructure installed on the chassis of a Panzer III tank.

	Battlefront.com Discussion Forums: Stug III Usage
		The decision to give the StuG the 7,5cm Lang (long) shifted the StuG role to that of an anti tank weapon, this was one of the moves instigated due to the inability of a German infantry company in dealing with the T-34.
		Bast has a good point, once Stug armament was switched to the the 7.5 cm KwK.40, L/43 & L/48 the Stug's role as an Inf Supt weapon was curtailed, with it's main role switching to an AT platform.
		Stug's despite their lack of an turret were very effective vs tank's especilay on the Eastren Front, where Stug units alone, were credited with the destruction of over 20,000 Soviet AFV's.

		It was to mount a gun of at least 75mm, which was to have a minimum traverse of 25°, and was to be mounted in the hull to minimize the vehicle’s profile and provide a more difficult target.
		The Sturmgeschütz III was based on the PzKfw III chassis and was powered by a 300hp Maybach HL 120TR engine.
		The StuG III was issued to assault gun detachments that originally were under the artillery.

		The Panzer III was designed as a medium tank, with a high-velocity 37 mm gun.
		During the war, the Pz III was upgunned to a 50 mm gun, then to an even higher velocity 50 mm gun, in order to improve its anti-tank performance.
		The Panzer III was the first tank to have a 3-man turret: the commander didn't have to double up as a loader or a gunner, so he could concentrate on commanding the tank.

		There is a thorough discussion of the StuG’s combat capabilities, and the army’s guidelines on the effective deployment of the assault gun, as well as several combat reports.

		The Sturmgeschütz (or StuG for short) was originally conceived by General Erich von Manstein who wanted a tracked assault gun to knock out pill-boxes and other fortifications.
		Altogether, the StuG III was inexpensive to build compared to turreted tanks and performed it's function as an assault gun very well.
		Also, the ballistics for each of the three StuG round types are different, and small adjustments to the sight maybe be needed to insure accuracy.

		The StuG III Ausf G as produced in early 1943 did not have zimmerit applied in the factory, and were not fitted with shurzen (side skirts), which was added in April 1943.

		The StuG III was a good choice since it was already in production and crews were familiar with the vehicle, so mid-war StuGs traded in their short barrel 75mm StuK 37 for the longer StuK 42.
		With the exception of the Tiger, the StuG III Ausf.
		Any StuG that moves for close action is trading away all its benefits and is putting itself in grave danger.

		Stug IV From 1943 onwards the German Army was pressed into the defence, conducting only small counter-attacks and defensive battles.The main battle tanks lost out in favor of the tank destroyers, which became evident in the production numbers.
		Production of the StuG III was delayed in 1943 due to Allied bombing, and production capacity was continued partly by the firm Krupp which resulted in the StuG IV, which was the combination of the StuG III with the chassis of the PzKpfw IV.
		By the spring of 1944, the StuG units were credited with the destruction of 20.000 Russian tanks, a number which only increased later during the war while fighting defending battles on different fronts.

		I recommend this barrel as it is a cost effective way of converting the Dragon StuG III Ausf F/8 into something a little different while also getting the benefits of a well made and accurate aluminum barrel.
