Here we can see a beautiful original Sturmgeschütz III F/8 starting, revving and driving in reverse, during Tanks in Town, an event taking place in Belgium and commemoring the liberation of Mons in september 1944.

This particular StuG III was restored by the team of the War Heritage Institute, and has its original V12 Maybach! Listen to this masterpiece!

    The humble little Stug had one of the highest kill ratios of all the German tanks.

    Ah the stug. Such a simple, but effective workhorse. And for a third of the price of a panzer 4. Love these things.

    W💥W! She's in beautifully restored condition, looking mint! I bet she's worth well over a million bucks! Superb StuG III

    That looks immaculate. Like the day it rolled out of the factory immaculate. Lots of TLC was put into this to be sure.

    Beautiful machine; I think I remember the name StuG III but didn’t remember exactly what it looked like. I am glad that it is a rebuild (not an active combat vehicle)...

    The Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 912 insignia on the back plate of the armour. StuG III Ausf. F/8 probably from Fallschirm-Panzer-Division 1. Hermann Göring, currently from a museum of Bastogne Barracks. Chassis number 90507. This vehicle was captured by US 7th Army troops in Sicily during Husky Operation (1943).
