Prior to and during the Second World War, the Germans developed and introduced into service a series of armored vehicles. While most of these were tanks, there were also a number of modifications designed to fulfill different roles, such as anti-tank or anti-aircraft duties. During the early stages of the war, a new vehicle, known as the Sturmgeschütz III, was slowly being introduced. Its purpose was to provide close fire support to infantry units, a role in which it would perform superbly. While mostly overshadowed by the famous Panther and Tiger tanks, the small and cheap Sturmgeschütz III would become the most widely produced tracked vehicle in the German armored arsenal. Its entry into service in 1940 was rather modest, mostly due to the small numbers of vehicles available at that time, but this was something that would change dramatically in the war’s later years.

Simple, effective and much cheaper and easier to produce. The close firepower support was devastating. I read somewhere that there were complaints that the infantry was less 'assertive' when the STUGs went back for fuel and ammunition.
Danke!
The title. He’s embraced the memes. Maybe a video on the legendary bob semple for April fools next year?
Hetzer's gotta Hetz
i didn't choose the StuG Life -- the StuG Life chose me.
Do you cruise around the hood with your Stug bouncing on lowrider suspensions?
@@mauriciomorais7818 That's how I roll to the grocery store, ese....
@@TheMajorActual Keep it Gangsta, dawg. Watch out for the po-po🚓
@@mauriciomorais7818 I make sure to pay all the right peeps...
I love the STUG! And would love to see more about them!
In the video one of them had osketten.
Facts: 90% of WWII Enthusiast started with StuG and Tiger tank
I've have to say this is one of if not the meanest looking armed vehicles I've came across online.
StuG life for all
Ah the artillery piece that ended up being famous for it's use as an tank destroyer
Or, the tank destroyer that was originally a mobile artillery
Such an interesting beastie, pretty girls every single one of them
Not as beautiful as tanks
@@ROBERTN-ut2il the Finnish late war Stug with the late war mantlet are friggin beautiful pieces of machinery, on par with any tank
Especially if you'd put her in a Skirt
We're talking about design preference for mechanical vehicles
There is no better or worse than
Only personal preference, effectiveness, and mechanical reliability
Great work! More videos on Stugs including the technical, economic, and tactical aspects would be greatly appreciated. Thank you I'll be donating as soon as I am able!
The arguments for the StuG resurfaced in the MPF: infantry need the armor support without detaching expensive tanks from the front lines.
Great update many thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more. Merry Christmas
Great video, thx
Hard lovin', straight StuGgin'
What about the Stu.H 42 ? Would be nice. As each of your vids . Regards and merry XMas
More StuG III film ! I didn't choose stug Life --stug life chose me.
If its about WW2 Armor, im all in. Especially the lesser known or discussed types including pre war and post war.
I'd like to see a comparison of the Stug to the Hetzer.
What confuses me is why they wanted to make the Stug. I thought they had the Pz IV to support the infantry?
I'll bet that the 75mm was due to large qualities of shells captured initially in the French invasion.. as 10.5 for an assault gun would have been preferable
Yes more please 🥰
@3:15 does that soldier have a mirror on the end of that stick? What would he be using that for? Seeing around corners up a road or to assist the driver? Anyone have an answer?
Certainly appears that way. Alternatively, it might be a signal to following vehicles, as the soldier looks back at them occasionally.
I believe its more for the driver to see the corners, just like the mirrors that exists in sharp corners in the cities.
It was used as a direction and stop and go , and also by the military police for traffic control
There's a soldier on foot with one directing traffic earlier in the video, it looks as if it has one face painted red and one painted green so likely a stop/go semaphore/signal board used to direct and stop/start traffic, similar to those used before mobile electric traffic signalling became available to road maintenance crews (and are still used when electric traffic signals don't turn up for crews today)
@@CATASTEROID934 now that I look at it again, it does look like it could just be a coloured circular signal post thingy rather than a mirror.....I think the shadows of the leaves made it look a bit like it was a mirror reflecting foliage. Seems like something they would use when driving a vehicle with notoriously terrible visibility for the driver. Well spotted. I can easily watch these old wartime reels for days on end, just looking at all of the tiny details.
I bet that soldier couldnt ever imagine that people all over the world would be watching that bit of film he is in, on these near magical devices, 80 years after he was filmed....food for thought.
Wonder if it would have been better to use the resources of the stug for panzer 4s and use them for infantry protection and not develop a whole new vehicle.
Maybe there is a lesson from history here that could be applied to modern armies.
Isn’t there only one of these left in the world?
"Manstein's Duck"
There is in Deutsch no such word as; Ausf. it's a shortening of the word; Ausführung. The main caveat in this is one can built in Deutsch word of nearly infinitive length, like; Parkettschleifmaschinenverleih = Parquet sanding machine rental so softening is, especial in military use very common.
In the end, please don't say Ausf. it's Ausführung = variant.
But he be speakin' the englishes me dude, and in the englishes we reads the abbreviationses as is. So, no.
@@carlborg8023 the old tell, of lost in translation. Let's hope you will get flawless in Madarin soon.
I know Germans who say Ausf.. They are professional engineers even, so highly educated and very careful with their words. Germans are allowed to want to use conventions of linguistic convenience, such as, in this case, the shedding of syllables to avoid the tedium of saying them out every time. We are talking about the German equivalent of saying can't instead of cannot.
@@genericpersonx333 The typical "know folks and they are highly educated and pros" youtube comment. While it is obvious that Germans use abreviations in spoken language in this case I doubt anyone would say it in that way because it sounds extremely unnatural. In fact it is literally awkward and fatiguing to say it like the dude in the video and is the opposite of convenient. Hearing that guy saying it 1000 times was brutal. Ask a German and let him pronounce "Ausf-A", and see for yourself what he thinks about that. I would rather expect Ausf. to be pronounced completely or that they would stick to something like "StuG Drei A" or "StuG Drei Anton".
First?
Aparently
Nice video but your pronunciation needs some work. Ausf. is not a word in itself. It's a contraction of Ausfuhrung. So a Stu.g II Ausf. A would be spoken as Stug III Ausfuhrung A.
Background music-unnecessary, a little distracting, even a bit annoying
The ugly duckling of armored warfare 🦆🦢
You just hatin` cuz you cant bussin stug life
Stug III with 75 mm long gun was the most successful tank of WW2 actually with highest kill ratio
@@grievetan wow! That's almost like the ugly duckling turned out to be a swan.
@@comentedonakeyboard go play minecraft kid and stop hatin people who love German vehicles
@@marinlukacek7821 i'm a "hater" now? That's so cute.
PS: am i realy the only one who knows the story of the ugly duckling?
Tank museum in Yamaha ? As you command .I made one it's pore quality but it is what it is .If you are intreasted you can find it by typing "tank" in the Yahaha "play" section search bar.
