Comparing: Pz.Sfl. IVc vs. StuG III Ausf. G

Proposed antiaircraft vehicle mounting the 88-mm antiaircraft gun. Development started in Germany in 1941. The vehicle was based on the Pz.Sfl.IVc chassis. The operational requirements for the vehicle were constantly changed, and the FlaK 41 gun was mounted on the chassis only in 1944. The vehicle was to be the basis of variants with other armament alternatives. However, the plan was never implemented. Only three prototypes were manufactured.

This vehicle first saw combat in France in 1940. It was produced, in several modifications, on the basis of the Pz. III tank until 1945. By 1944, 9,346 of these self-propelled guns destroyed about 20,000 enemy vehicles. Some vehicles were in operation until 1967 and were even deployed in the Six-Day War by some countries of the Arab world against Israel.
