StuG III Ausf E (SdKfz 142/1) Eastern Front 1942

At the beginning of World War II, when the German Wehrmacht was engaged in a blitzkrieg, the need arose for a highly mobile infantry support vehicle that could provide heavy firepower to assist the infantry in breaking through enemy defenses.
The Sturmgeschütz III was developed to meet this requirement.
As the war progressed, the StuG III evolved into a tank destroyer in addition to its role as an assault gun and was often used as a replacement for real battle tanks.
