"This late Stug III, Ausf. G being driven by troops of the US 104th Infantry Division, represents the final production type. Not many StuG IIIs received the layer of concrete as shown here. Note the schurzen brackets on the mudguard, the travel lock and the base for the "tarnscheinwerfer." An interesting variation is the use of an MP44 assault rifle in the remote-control mount in place of the usual MG34.
