Although quite underrated by Allied intelligence during WW2 and still somewhat underestimated today, the StuG III was nonetheless the most produced tracked German AFV during the conflict. Its evolution mirrored that of the more famous Panzer IV. At first the StuG was a simple derivative of the Panzer III for infantry support only, but it ended as one of the most important German vehicles of the war. With its low profile and low cost, it was the real battlehorse of the Wehrmacht, shifting from a close support vehicle to a tank-hunter of the first magnitude, soldiering without interruption anywhere from North Africa to Europe and Russia. The crews loved it because of its low profile and good armor, and the infantry it was supporting was grateful for its firepower and availability.
