History of
The Sturmpanzer IV was a development of the Panzer IV tank designed to provide direct infantry fire support, especially in urban areas.
Earlier vehicles like the StuG III were not completely adequate for this role, and therefore it was decided in early 1942 to develop a new vehicle.
The result was the Sturmpanzer IV, which used a Panzer IV chassis, with the upper hull and turret replaced by a new, fixed casemate-style armored
superstructure housing the 150 mm Sturmhaubitze (StuH) 43 L/12 gun. This gun fired both high explosive and shaped charge anti-tank rounds. Thirty eight rounds, with separate propellant cartridges, could be carried.
