The StuG III was a German assault gun produced during the Second World War. It was based on the Panzer III tank and, across its various versions, became the most numerous fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle produced by Germany during the war.
A total of 300 StuG III Ausf.B assault guns were built by Alkett between June 1940 and May 1941. The vehicle was armed with a short-barrelled 75 mm StuK 37 L/24 gun. It was powered by a 296 hp Maybach HL 120 TRM twelve-cylinder petrol engine, which gave the 19.6-tonne vehicle a top speed of 40 km/h on roads and 20 km/h cross-country. Its four-man crew consisted of a driver, gunner, loader and commander.
The model depicts an assault gun bearing the marking "A" of the 3rd Battery, StuG.Abt. 185, operating in Estonia in late summer 1941.
