About the StuG III:

The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) is a direct-fire infantry support vehicle used by the German army in World War II. It was the result of lessons learned in the First World War.  The Germans saw the need for pinpoint artillery fire to break up enemy strong points such as machine gun nests and fortifications encountered by advancing infantry.

The first prototype Stürmgeschutz vehicles were manufactured in 1937, based on the hulls of the newly-designed Panzer III chassis.  Read More
