Historical Information

The 15 cm sIG33 (schweres Infanterie Geschütz 33) was a German heavy infantry gun developed in the interwar period and played a significant role during World War II. It was used by the Wehrmacht from 1933 until the end of the war in 1945. The gun was employed both as a towed artillery piece for infantry units and was mounted on various self-propelled platforms, including the chassis of Panzer I, II, and StuG III tanks. The sIG33 utilized high-explosive ammunition, giving it substantial firepower, and was an effective means of supporting German troops on multiple fronts—from the campaigns in Poland and France, to fierce fighting on the Eastern Front and in North Africa.
