ISBN: 9781848841741 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

By 1943 its main role was providing anti-tank support to the units in its area of operation. This consequently led to many StuGs being destroyed in battle. Nonetheless they were very successful as tank killers and destroyed, among others, many bunkers, pillboxes and other defenses.While not considered to be a true tank because it lacked a turret, the gun was mounded directly in the hull, with a low profile to...
