Description
The second and final part of STUG: Assault Gun Units in the East. In volume 1 we covered the independent StuG Battalions and the Panzerjaeger companies attached to Infantry divisions equipped with the StuG III and IV and in this book we examine the units of the Waffen SS, the Luftwaffe and the Panzer divisions – some of which contained mixed battalions of tanks and assault guns. We have also had the assistance of Professor Yuri Shepelev who has been able to access the photo resources of the St Petersburg State Archive. This book is based on our usual format of 13 full color pages featuring over 30 different vehicles, highlighting the colors and field modifications that make these late-war assault guns so interesting. The illustrations are complemented by black and white archive photographs and we’ve been lucky to have the help of Dr. Yuri Shepelev and his contacts at the Saint Petersburg archive in Russia to help out here. Add to that organisational charts and unit histories and this book finishes what Volume I began.
