Ever since I bought my first Airfix model of the StuG III, it has been one of my favourite armoured fighting vehicles ... and when I discovered that Haynes had produced on of their manuals about it, I had to buy a copy.
STUG III: STURMGESCHUTZ III AUSFUHRUNG A TO G (SDKFZ 142) has nine chapters and a bibliography:
- Introduction
- From concept to eve of combat
- Short-barrelled StuG III Ausf A-E (Sdkfz 142)
- Long-barrelled StuG III Ausf F-G (Sdkfz 142/1)
- Anatomy of the StuG III Ausf A-E
- Anatomy of the StuG III Ausf F, F/8 and Ausf G
- StuG III walk-around
- StuG III in combat 1940-43
- StuG III in combat 1944-45
- Bibliography
As with the other volumes in this series, this book contains numerous photographs and line drawings, and has match to offer the serious modeller and anyone with an interest in the technical aspects of armoured vehicle development.
STUG III: STURMGESCHUTZ III AUSFUHRUNG A TO G (SDKFZ 142) was written by Mark Healey and published in 2019 by Haynes Publishing (ISBN 978 1 78521 213 0).

A favourite of mine too Bob ever since I saw the Tamiya kit with Fallschirmjager sometime in the 1970's.

All the best,

Me too. I remember a few years back when we visited the Hop Farm in Kent a few days before they were having one of the military history events and found we'd parked almost next to a StuG just the other side of a hedge. Made one appreciate the low sillouette.
ReplyDeleteNigel Drury,
DeleteThe StuG III is a very low slung vehicle when compared with its contemporaries. I’ve also seen one of the replicas built on the chassis of a FV432. It was very convincing ... until you counted the number of wheels!
All the best,
Bob
