Very good armor documentary

'Stug III & IV - Assault Guns' is a very well done video. The film covers the entire operational history of the Stug on all fronts although North Africa is barely mentioned and the majority of time is devoted to the Eastern front.

Most of the video footage was new to me. The footage seems to come from German progranda films although I'm not sure if it is one film or pieces of film. I suspect the latter. A few maps were added into the footage. The narration is new and not from the original film and is very good and reasonably clear. Sound is minimal at best.

The video provides general operational details along with some specific actions and details on the various versions. Interestingly the 105mm StuH42 is not mentioned at all even though it is shown a lot. The Stug IV is barely covered. Other equipment is briefly shown in action such as the 20/37/88mm AA guns.

Overall it is well done. The narration provides only basic data but the footage is great for the modeller, wargamer, and armor enthusiast. Lots of good footage of the Stug in action in all weather and all terrain.

One of the most common images of German Armor in the combat footage taken by Goebbel's propaganda camera men in the second half of the war in Europe was the Assault Gun or 'Sturmgeschutz' (abbr. Stug). From 1942 onwards it was increasingly employed as a tank destroyer but its origin lay not in that role but in a 1936 order for an armored infantry support vehicle. The frequency with which assault guns are filmed in action from 1944 onwards illustrates the manner to which this vehicle was employed as a substitute for the Panzers. By the war's end assault gun units claimed the destruction of no less than 20000 allied tanks. System Requirements:Running Time 52 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
