Stug 3 G with Zimm and pigs snout!!! One cool machine! Colour suits it too. One of the coolest looking war machines ever made. God bless the men who fixed it up and put it back on the road. Great achievement!

Wow, this Stug looks really good! And a bonus that it is in running condition! Kudos to the museum and the people who work hard to preserve these historical pieces of armored history.

One of my favorite German armored vehicles. Thanks for the video.

Really illustrates how a good design the Panzer III was that it’s chassis would still be used right till the end of the war.

The many views of the StuG moving toward the camera convey how terrifying it would be to be an enemy infantryman. Its forward progress appears irresistible.

Some guys had all the fun

Majestic!!! Ausgezeichnet!!!

a beast on battlefield and nightmare for allied crews... 💥

Ich finde es immer wieder schön wenn alte Fahrzeuge aus längst vergangenen Zeiten wieder Restauriert werden und so in diversen Vorführungen auch mal gezeigt werden. Da der Stug 3 einer meiner lieblings Panzerjäger ist neben diversen anderen Panzer Jägern der Russischen SU Varianten.

Nice!!!.. Greetings from FINLAND!!!.. ⚔️⚔️⚔️🇫🇮

Looks great. Get it in a movie.

A very great innovation due to war experience. Panzer III's by 1943 were stopped being produced. This was due to the Panzer III turret was not large enough to install a gun greater than 50mm. However the Panzer III chassie was perfect for the development of the STG-III. Later Panzer IV chassies and Panzer V chassies were used to install even greater more powerful guns. However the STUG-III eventually became the most numberous armored fighting vehicle in the German Armed Forces. They were a great answer to the Soviet T-34. Lack of a revolving turrett was of course a drawback. However drivers working with gunners became very good and fast at manouvering the vehicle in order to effective fire against enemy targets. A very simple and effective solution brought forward by the Germans in wartime.

Love these two...but the Stug III is my favorite WWII German AFV! Thanks for the video!

the wooden bridge is an "original" WW2 Pionier protocol bridge....so it should bear such a tank..but over the years the wood gets dry...quite risky yes.

This is beautiful !! Thanks for posting, I notice this Stug has the late war "Saukopf" mantlet. Were these not just used on the Stug IV variant ? Or mostly on that type ?

@paoloviti6156

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, the "Saukopf" mantle was used also on the Pz.Kpfw IV but it depended very much on the availability as the Germans had difficulty to produce cast parts especially big as this mantlet. Exactly why I never understood, perhaps because it because of shortage of manpower?

Am I wrong or are the tracks put on faulty ? 0:11 The "little fingers" at the sides of each track is supposed to "bite" into the mud when going forward..isn't it ?

Amazing truely

Beautiful! Has this Stug ever been in a war movie by any chance?

To have one with the side plates is pretty good-they are usually lost.

It is the historic technical collection of our army located in the Rhine valley close to Koblenz. Yes, a museum.

What's amazing is when you find out about how many enemy Vehicles this vehicle knocked out. Incredible. Even in modern war I know it would be knocked out pretty quick but even in a well-hidden position against APC or infantry fighting vehicles. That would be a headache if let's say the Taliban had a few of these fighting the Americans. Hiding in the streets somewhere. It's not very big.

@@srujan00 It took longer to made a panzer IV than a panther. The panther was the first german mbt, which was designed for mass production. They made ca 8000 panzer iv from 1936 till 1945 and they made ca 6000 Panther in only two years. What is often forgotten, is that the panzer IV shares the same mechanical problems since spring 1944, which are faulty final drives, bad sealings and bad bearings. Bombing campaigns like the "Big Week" only had a low impact on the output of the german war industry, but they had a huge impact on production quality.

ja, habe ich selbst gesehen.

Most kills of any type of German Armoured vehicle. Also the largest number produced. Can cross on bridges, fits on a railway carriage, less than 24 tonnes, low profile easy to camouflage. Cheap to manufacture - about 2 for the cost of a Panther or Tiger not to mention all the development costs for the ultimately unsuccessful heavy tanks. Cheap to maintain. Easy to maintain (compare that to the overlapping wheels of a Panther or Tiger). Good ergonomics inside and outside. Instead of building 6,000 Panther 1300 Tigers and 1500 Tiger II (each Tiger II == cost of 10 Stugs) they could have built 22,300 Stug IIIs ... significantly impacting the war as the total built was only 15,000. Had they stayed with the Stug they could have reached almost 40,000 Stugs. Compare that to 80,000 T-34 and 50,000 Sherman tanks.

No they couldnt. If they could have, they would have. They lacked the resources. It's not as simple as say 2 StuG per Panther. The gun, the bearings, the rare metal is quite close to being the same. Also two StuG use more gas than one Panther. Two StuG take more man hours and the Germans didnt have enough slave workers and those they had, were not reliable nor effective. One Panther, with a turret, is worth more than two StuG. The KD ratio for the StuG was only vs tanks and HTs. But a Panther is a real tank and was highly effective against infantry as well. The StuG, less so. The 75mm of the Panther had a larger and more precise HE shell than the M4. The SuG was a hell of a great support and defensive vehicle, but Germany needed a medium tank aka main battle tank, and they chose the Panther, seeing the Pz4 had reached its maximum capability and the Panther was more effective to produce. And in 44 Germany severely lacked trained tank crews. No point in having green 2 week trained crews in 22.000 StuGs. Better armored real turreted tanks were far more effective and required less crew than twice the StuG numbers.

If the stug iii platform takes on a 105mm tank gun instead of the 75 . Add a modern stabilized gun control plus a modern sighting and electronics, supporting mgs, i think it would still be a useful platform in supporting infantry even today.
