Historical background of the StuG IV (Sd. Kfz. 167) vehicle

Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV), also known as Sd. Kfz. 167, was a German tank destroyer from the Second World War. Introduced into Wehrmacht service in 1943, it was based on the chassis of the Panzer IV tank and the superstructure of the StuG III. It was an assault gun, but it was widely used to combat Allied armored forces on all fronts, including the Eastern and Western Fronts. The Germans used the StuG IV until the end of the war in 1945.
