Historical Background

The s.IG.33(Sf) auf Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.B self-propelled gun was built by the Germans to improve infantry support capabilities on the battlefield. The design was based on the chassis of the light Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.B tank, on which a 150 mm s.IG.33 infantry howitzer was mounted. Due to the limited number of these vehicles (about 38 units built), they were mainly used by Wehrmacht units during campaigns on the Western Front as well as during fighting in North Africa and on the Eastern Front between 1940 and 1943. Despite fitting a massive gun to a light chassis, this vehicle played a significant role in supporting German army assaults.
