Comparing: Birch Gun vs. Sturmpanzer II

In the 1920s, British engineers explored the idea of an SPG on a tank chassis. Development of the vehicle started in 1923 at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. It was based on the Vickers Medium Mark II, the chassis of which could carry the required modules. A total of seven prototypes were manufactured and joined the Experimental Mechanised Force established on May 1, 1927. Later, the unit was disbanded, along with the SPG program.

Developed in 1941 and based on the Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. B. All manufactured vehicles were sent to the front and lost. The SPGs were used by the Afrika Division in Libya and Tunisia.
