The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) assault
gun was Germany's most produced armoured fighting vehicle during World War II.
It was built on the chassis of the proven Panzer III tank, replacing the turret
with a fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended as
a mobile, armoured light gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III
was continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer, was widely
employed as a tank destroyer.
