  • This incredible vehicle has just arrived from Europe after an extensive rebuild and restoration by Bushmakow Restorations in the Czech Republic.
    This StuG III F is the only surviving vehicle of its type and fought at Stalingrad with Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 244 before its destruction in February 1943.

    Fabulous to see that StuG III F in such amazing restored condition 80 years later, she's a true survivor! Sad to think that she's the only tank of its type left in the world. I've always loved the Stug and think its a great infantry support vehicle and I bet it really was too.

  • @extraterrestrialfascisti7625

    My deceased friend was a Stug III commander from 1943-1945. He got the Knights Cross in a Stug III panzer-Jaeger abteilung 1102. He swore the Wehrmacht should have abandoned production of the panther and Tiger in favor of increased Stug III production. The advantages of the stug was easy to manufacture in large numbers; good gun, easy to rail transport; easy to train crews on; mechanically reliable. According to him even as late as 1945 the Stug III could still counter even the latest Russian tanks.

    • @gonebabygone4116
      @gonebabygone4116 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Germany could build three fast, reliable, heavy Panthers for the price of two Tigers. They could have built three Stug for the price of a single Tiger I and four for the price of a Tiger II. The apples to apples tank comparison is pretty easy. The assault guns are so different, would really require an expert to explain all the factors.

    The StuG III Ausf F was a particularly important milestone. The Australian public is extremely fortunate the AAAM have managed to procure this. A PzFpKw IV Ausf F-1 or F- 2 would be another milestone gem. Pretty difficult to find I expect given the transitional production numbers of those between the E and G. Loving these vids.

    What a GREAT collection, especially since Australia never saw these German vehicles on their Continent. Aussie troops saw plenty in North Africa however, in the defense of Tobruk and elsewhere. The Germans in Africa considered the Australians to be the elite troops of the Commonwealth. The Japanese learned this as well. The Australians were the first to stop the Japanese Army, on the Kokoda trail in Papua New Guinea.
    A wonderful collection which honors the sacrifice of the brave Australians in the World Wars. I raise my glass here in the US to our brave Allies and fast friends Australia!! I might have another too, in your honor Mate!

    I knew a Stug commander. He put his Stug inside a house in Russia, and then he picked off a Russian tank column which turned and high-tailed it. He got the Knights Cross for that effort. In the early 1960's he married a Polish interpreter for Russia and came to Melbourne. During the war, they both went into and out of Kyiv, if they had seen each other they would have had to shoot each other! Amazingly he was the quiet one, she was bossy!
