The Subject: The StuG III Ausf. The subject is the StuG III Ausf. Instead of using applique armor, 80 mm (3.15 inches) thick armour plates are used. Alkett delivered 7500 StuGs while MIAG produced 2586. Alkett converted 173 Panzer IIIs into StuG III Ausf.Gs, while 142 Panzer III Ausf.Ms were based upon the standard StuG III Ausf.G chassis.

By the end of March 1943, the periscope for the driver was dropped. Due to a lack of rubber, metal return rollers had to be used. In June 1944 it was upgraded to a coaxial MG 34. A rotating cupola was adopted with periscopes. This later changed to a welded, fixed one due to a sudden shortage of balls bearings. By February 1944, shot deflectors were standardised.
