The Subject: The StuH 42 Ausf. G Late Production.
The StuH 42, SdKfz 142/2, or Sturmhaubitze 42 (StuH: Sturmhaubitze (assault howitzer)) was a self-propelled gun that was used by Germany during World War II. Only about 1,300 StuH 42s were produced and were based on the StuG III F/8 and G models. The StuH 42 was first developed in 1942 when the need for an anti-infantry support vehicle arose and the production of StuGs was in full force. It only seemed logical to convert this already battle-tested and readily available chassis into a specialist vehicle and because many features were carried over, development time was cut short just in time for the Battle of Kursk, where around seventy StuHs fought. They continued in both the Western and Eastern Fronts until the end of the war. In the end, around 1,200 were produced.
