Brief Historical Overview

The Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33 (Sd.Kfz. 138/1) is a heavy assault gun constructed on the Panzer III chassis. It allowed the infantry to receive more effective fire support during urban combat. Only 24 units were produced, most of which were sent directly to the Eastern Front, mainly for the battle of Stalingrad, one of the bloodiest conflicts of World War II. These vehicles proved particularly effective in destroying fortified Soviet positions in the city ruins of Stalingrad.
