Historical Information

The Sd.Kfz.167 Sturmgeschutz IV (StuG IV) is a German self-propelled tank destroyer that entered service in 1943 and was used until the end of World War II. The vehicle was created by combining the hull of the Panzer IV tank with the proven superstructure of the StuG III Ausf. G assault gun. As a result, a tank destroyer was produced that boasted good mobility and serious firepower, particularly effective against the Allies on the Eastern Front and during battles in France after the Normandy landings.

The Sturmgeschutz IV was widely used in Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS armored divisions, gaining fame in battles in Pomerania, during defensive operations in East Prussia, and on the Western Front in the final months of the war. Thanks to its low profile and solid armament with a 75 mm gun, it remains to this day an icon of German military engineering.
