Mr. Tittles Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I would agree that the sturmartillerie were relegated towards the end of the war but they did not disappear. The only units that SHOULD have recieved the StuH 105mm would be these units and they made that vehicle in 1944 (903 vehicles)and 45 (98 vehicles) as well as plenty of StuGIII75mm and StuGIV. The sturmartillerie still would have to battle AFV regardless since all attacking armies had superior numbers of AFV. They just had to be very standoffish and defensive. As a seperate type of arm to the Heer, they were slowly fading out. Infantry units, even when backed up by StuGs, were having a hard time attacking late in the war. The allies just had so many tanks and antitank weapons and superior artillery and airpower. The whole sturmarty idea was like the US tank destroyer command. It didnt last after the war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Kingfish, I'd planned on linking you to the Hetzer article on Mike Kendall's AFV INTERIORS site, but that article is for some reason not there now. Have E-mailed him about it, but have gotten no reply as yet. Did find this, though, part of a most impressive site. http://www.pzfahrer.net/inside_tour.html Hope it helps.
