The StuG III, although often underrated by Allied intelligence during WWII, emerged as the most prolific German armoured fighting vehicle of the conflict. It was built on a simplified Panzer III chassis with clean and interchangeable parts which made it easy to fix. Replacing the turret with a fixed casemate, it was mounted a powerful 7.5cm StuK 40 L/48 gun which could destroy almost any Allied tank except the IS Soviet tank and the Jumbo Sherman. With its low-profile, firepower, low-cost and standardised production, StuG III transitioned from an infantry support vehicle to a formidable tank hunter across various theaters of war, including North Africa, Europe, and Russia. The Ausf.G was the final and main variant, with over 8,400 units produced from December 1942 to April 1945. It was considered by many as the No. 1 tank destroyer in military history, with over 30,000 claimed victories.
