Farley Mowat's Stug

[Perry Kitson]

Here is a recent photo of the machine inside the new museum. Sorry, can't seem to rotate the photo. (any hints on how to do that?)
It has an interesting mixture of rubber and steel rimmed roadwheels.

The late war version was front heavy and had steel road wheels at the front stations, that and possibly a case of making due with what was available during the last days of the reich.

I found this article in an old copy of IPMS RT and it cases some light on the events behind the sale of the Stug to the States.

Easy, save it to the desk top and rotate it, save the now rotated photo and upload it.

I spotted this short notice about the Stug III while looking through some back issues of AFV News and perhaps may help fill in some of the details about this vehicle.
