being a better history channel then the actual history channel

It's ridiculous how sir Willey manages to continue his talk for such an extended period of time without cuts in editing (as far as I've noticed). Excellent presentation!

My Grandfather was a StuG III driver and mechanic at Army Group South. He still talks tenderly about his trusty StuG "Langrohr" (long barreled Ausf. G). He liked to point out the comfortable interior, the vehicle´s reliability, good armor protection as well as armament and particularly the highly superior optics when compared to captured T-34s. He was a member of Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung (later Brigade) 228.

The Tank Museum - providing essential morale services worldwide during times of crises.

I hope we will see updated tank chats on Tiger, Panther, Tiger II, Ferdinand etc. Those old ones 5 minute long just aren't enough. I totally love these 20-30 minute ones though, especially the extensive tank chat on T-34.

The aesthetics of German armor are quite exquisite. From the Stugs and Panzer IVs to the Panther and Tigers.
-
It's basically the Hurricane to the Spitfire. Sure, the spitfire was flashy and a brilliant plane, but the hurricane was the workhorse
-
What also is unmentioned in the article is that as the StuG was a tank under the artillery branch received "artillery" optics, and were much higher quality to the regular army tanks thus allowing kills at much further ranges. This allowed the 75L24 to be used to such deadlier results. Hitler may have blundered much of World War 2, but his call for a longer 75 gun was spot on.

That's funny. My Son is sitting downstairs and build his new Cobi STUG III...what an coincidence. Best wishes to all of you, stay healthy!
-
The real workhorse of the German Army right here. This is the armoured vehicle that allies on both fronts would have to face the most through the war.
-
history channel should be showing this stuff..oh wait i cancelled cable years ago because i got tired of pawn stars
-
Michael Wittmann began his run as a premier master of tank warfare (after serving for a time in armored cars) as commander of a Stug.III..Many of his tactics and methods carried over to his Tiger I commands, his close coordination between himself, driver, and gunner making for fast target aquisition and nimble maneuvers..all learned in his Stug III days.

The moment the tank museum starts selling Stug life t-shirts is the moment I buy their entire stock
-
this man , need to make audio books - his voice is so calm .
-
As well as the refreshingly unbiased content and lack of partisan flag-waving where anything military is concerned, I really like David's presentation style. Excellent clarity.
-
The Finnish army 29 StuGs destroyed at least 87 soviet tanks for a loss of only 8 StuGs. Many of them during the summer of 1944. These StuGs gained the nickname "Sturmi".
-
Of all the fighting vehicles of WWII the Stug was always my favourite. Great video.
-
Very well made information. In the early '70 I was an apprentice as an technical drawer in the MIAG factory in Brunswik. And we had to pass some practices in the manfacturing, and there although in "Halle 17", where these StuG were build in the 40ies. Later the Jagdpanther was manufactured on the same place. Back in the technical office I was glad to get access to the original drawings of the StuG and the Jagdpanther. Some of the former engineers were still there...

Outstanding video! I'm obviously three years too late in just discovering this gem of a video, but I'm overjoyed at finding this site and overwhelmed by the quality of this presentation. I'm looking forward to watching many other videos from the Tank Museum. Thank you!
-
I absolutely love these videos. Thanks David for taking the time during these trouble times to produce this wonderful video.
