The vehicles of the Sturmgeschütz series were cheaper and faster to build than contemporary German tanks; at 82,500 RM, a StuG III Ausf G was cheaper than a Panzer III Ausf. M, which cost 103,163 RM. This was due to the omission of the turret, which greatly simplified manufacture and allowed the chassis to carry a larger gun.
Sturmgeschütz III ausf A-E (StuG III, Sd.Kfz. 142) - Sturmgeschütz III. Assault gun armed with 75 mm L/24 on Panzer III chassis; StuG III ausf F-G - Sturmgeschütz 40. Assault gun armed with 75 mm L/43 or L/48 on Panzer III chassis (Sd.Kfz. 142/1) Sturmhaubitze 42 (StuH 42, Sd. Kfz. 142/2). StuG III with 105 mm light field howitzer
The Jagdpanzer IV / Sd.Kfz. 162, was a German tank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis and built in three main variants. As one of the casemate-style turretless Jagdpanzer (tank destroyer, literally "hunting tank") designs, it was developed against the wishes of Heinz Guderian, the inspector general of the Panzertruppen, as a replacement for the Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III).

The 7.5 cm KwK 40 (7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone [a] 40) was a German 75 mm Second World War era vehicle-mounted gun, used as the primary armament of the German Panzer IV (F2 model onwards) medium tank and the Sturmgeschütz III (F model onwards) and Sturmgeschütz IV assault guns which were used as tank destroyers.
The Panzer III was the first tank to have a 3-man turret: the commander did not have to double up as a loader or a gunner, so he could concentrate on commanding the tank. Variants: Panzer III A-F= armed with 37 mm L/45 gun; Panzer III F-M = armed with 50 mm L/42 or L/60 gun; Panzer III N = armed with 75 mm L/24 gun, used for Infantry support
The Entwicklung series (from German Entwicklung lit.

There were to be standard designs in five different weight classes (E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75 and E-100) from which several specialised ...
