In the last years of the Second World War the Sturmgeschütz III
(StuG III) and Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV) played a vital role as
assault guns during the German army’s struggle to block the Allied
advance on the Western Front. As the Wehrmacht’s tank forces
declined, these armoured vehicles were thrown into every defensive
operation. They are not as well known as the Tigers and Panthers,
but German resistance would have been much weaker without them.
They were also among the most frequently encountered German
armoured vehicles on the battlefields, which is why they are such a
fascinating subject for Dennis Oliver in this volume in the
TankCraft series
He uses archive photos and extensively researched colour
illustrations to examine the StuG III and StuG IV deployed by the
German army and the Waffen-SS during these doomed campaigns. A key
section of his book displays available model kits and aftermarket
products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully constructed and
painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as
modifications introduced during production and in the field are
also examined providing everything the modeller needs to recreate
an accurate representation of these historic armoured
vehicles.
