Cañones de asalto StuG III - Alemania: libros - historia, modelos y técnica (1/2)

StuG III Manual - Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. A to G (SdKfz 142) (Haynes Military Manual)

Based on the chassis of the Panzer III tank, the Second World War German Sturmgeschutz series of assault guns was a successful and cost-effective range of armoured fighting vehicles.
Originally intended as a mobile assault weapon for infantry support, the StuG was constantly modified and saw extensive use on all battlefronts as an assault gun and tank destroyer.

Author Mark Healy examines the development, construction and fighting qualities of the StuG, including insights into what it was like to operate and maintain.
His centrepiece is a surviving StuG III at the Tank Museum, Bovington, and he also draws on a range of documentary and photographic information sources in Germany, the USA and France.

Sturmgeschütz III and IV 1942-1945 (Osprey)

As the Second World War dragged on, heavy German losses in armoured vehicles and tanks ensured that assault gun units had to play an increasingly vital role in supporting the beleaguered infantry and countering Allied armour, particularly on the Eastern Front. The Sturmgeschütz was one of the most numerously produced and effectively deployed of the German armoured vehicles.

This book reveals how the Sturmgeschütz provided the backbone of Germany's armoured forces in every theatre and on every front during the long fighting-retreat of the final years of the war.
