Historical Description & Application

StuH 42 (15 cm Sturmhaubitze 42) was a self-propelled howitzer developed on the chassis of the popular StuG III, widely used by the German Army on all fronts during World War II from 1943 to 1945. Its main armament was the 10.5 cm Sturmhaubitze 42 howitzer, enhanced by a characteristic muzzle brake that improved the combat efficiency of the unit, particularly during battles on the Eastern Front and in the defense of the Reich towards the end of the war. The topfblende, or round gun mantlet, was introduced for improved protection and enhanced gun operation in combat conditions.
