StuG III/StuH 42 a StuG IV v službách cudzích armád

The Sturmgeschütz III self-propelled gun and its derivative StuH 42 was one of the most widely used self-propelled guns during World War II, and was one of the German Army's most successful designs. To a limited extent, these self-propelled guns were supplied to the German Allies. These successful machines were also more or less used by the Allied troops who captured these machines. Even after the end of World War II, they were still used by several countries. I will give an overview of the individual user countries in turn.

The StuG IV vehicles were produced in much smaller numbers, and the only known users to me were the Soviet Army (in the fighting at Balaton in 1945) and the longer term users were the post-war armies of Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria. Of course it is not impossible that as utility vehicles they may have been used in units of other allied armies. There is no information on the use of this type in the armies of the German Allies.

Sturmgeschütz III in the Bulgarian Army
At the end of 1942, the reorganization of Bulgarian armoured units into the organizational form of German armoured units began. It was necessary to procure new high-quality armour for the newly emerging armoured units, and therefore the Bulgarian military command turned to its German ally. Minister of War General Mihov visited Adolf Hitler's headquarters between 30 December 1942 - 1 January 1943, where they negotiated the supply of German weapons under the code name "Barbara". In addition to weapons, the German side was to provide training for new tank and self-propelled gun crews so that the first units would be combat-ready by 1 July 1943. Training at the German training centre in Wünsdorf began in the spring of 1943. In the meantime, 20 StuG III Ausf. G. Later the order was increased to 55 machines.

StuG III carried the name "щурмово оръдие Maybach T-III" in the Bulgarian army.
The 1st Battalion of self-propelled guns was formed on 10/6/1943 in Sofia and was stationed there until 9/19/1944, when it was sent to Yugoslavia.
On 10/9/1943, the 2nd Battalion of Self-Propelled Guns was formed again in Sofia. Later in 11/1943 it was moved to the town of Хасково (Haskovo) and in 4/1944 to the village of Узунджово([iaa]Uzundžovo). Later the 2nd Battalion's dislocation is changed again, the battalion is moved to Plovdiv(Plovdiv). The 1st Battalion of self-propelled guns was incorporated into the 1st Army, the 2nd Battalion into the 2nd Army. Training of the new crews was slow until the coup d'état of 9/1944, when they were sent to Yugoslavia to fight against the recent ally Germany.


During the fighting in Yugoslavia, Hungary and Austria, losses of combat equipment occurred and Bulgarian troops were losing combat capability. Therefore, the combat troop strength was reinforced with a dozen trophy self-propelled guns. These were supplied by units of the Soviet 3rd Ukrainian Front, where they replenished the Bulgarian 2nd Mixed Armoured Brigade, more specifically its 2nd Armoured Regiment.

The StuG IIIs remained in the New Bulgarian Army's ranks after the end of the war. As of 12/1945, there were a total of 56 StuG IIIs in the 2nd Armoured Brigade's state.
After the transition to Soviet armament, the remaining machines were used to protect Bulgaria's borders with Turkey and Greece as permanent strongpoints. They were stored in excavated trenches, and were often concreted over. Such a fortified border was built and maintained until the late 1980s. These now rare wrecks were dug up together with other German equipment in 2008 and moved to the premises of the Bulgarian army and became a profitable trade item.
Two of the machines are in the Military History Museum in Sofia (Fgst.Nr. 95261 - a machine from a delivery to Bulgaria and Fgst.Nr. 106411 - a trophy vehicle, but not included in any official list of used self-propelled guns).

Sturmhaubitze 42 v bulharskej armáde
Počas bojov v Juhoslávii, Maďarsku a Rakúsku došlo k stratám na bojovej technike a bulharské jednotky strácali bojaschopnosť. Preto boli stavy bojových jednotiek posilnené trofejnými samohybnými delami. Tie dodali jednotky sovietského 3. ukrajinského frontu.
Jedným zo samohybných diel bola i samohybná húfnica StuH 42 Ausf. G, ktorá bola zaradená v 4. rote 2. obrneného pluku 2. obrnenej brigády. Táto húfnica figurovala v stave k 11-12/1945.

Sturmgeschütz III in the Czechoslovak Army
The Sturmgeschütz III self-propelled guns, mostly of the Ausf.G version, were found in various degrees of serviceability throughout post-war Czechoslovakia. The first plans for the repair of these vehicles counted on 70 vehicles. The repairs were to take place at AZ 1 in Přelouč, which had experience in repairing these self-propelled guns during the war. The first refurbished machine was completed in 9/1946 and delivered to Tank Training School, but the 1st AZ did not have enough capacity for more. After the involvement of the 2nd MNO Department, one hall was set aside in the repair shop to be used only for repairs of these vehicles. In 4/1947, there were a total of 12 StuG IIIs in AZ 1, of which only four were suitable for repair. Documentation indicates that Tank Apprenticeship acquired a total of five vehicles from AZ 1 in 1946/47, registration numbers 64.947, 64.948, 64.949, 71.860 and 71.861. These machines served to gain experience with the type. These self-propelled guns were evaluated positively. In the summer of 1947, repair of six more vehicles was in progress. A military commission gave official suggestion based on an inspection of one restored vehicle, which was modified by AZ 1 (the model vehicle was later presumably given the registration number 67.520). The commission drew up a proposal for uniform modifications which all repaired vehicles were to undergo. Vehicles with mechanical steering were to be reconstructed; vehicles with hydraulic steering were not to be reconstructed. The automatic tensioning of the engine fan belts was to be retained. If possible, only the cast 'Topfblende' shield was to be used; if the shield would allow for a coaxial machine gun, the machine gun bore was to be blinded. A powerful crew compartment combat fan was to be used and, due to the shortage of spare parts, the original optical and connecting means were to be retained as far as possible. The hinged defensive machine gun shield on the superstructure roof was also to be eliminated. However, contemporary photographs show the protective shield of the remotely operated machine gun, which began to be fitted later in German production. Whether the earlier production machines that had the folding shield were modified in this way is unknown to me, but in the quest for a uniform appearance across all vehicles, it is possible. If the vehicles had additional reinforced concrete armour reinforcement, this should have been removed. If the vehicle had zimmerite, the areas from which it had fallen off should have been repaired. In fact, there was a stock of this putty (about 1500 kg). The restart of the reconstructions with the adopted unifying modifications started again at the end of 11/1947 after the approval of these modifications. In 1948, 49 vehicles were repaired. As more repairable vehicles than expected could be collected, the VTV (Tank Army Headquarters) issued a decree on 11/10/1948 to repair another 50 vehicles (ev.no.79.601-79.650). In 1949, a total of 49 repaired vehicles were delivered. In 1950, the remaining 22 vehicles were repaired (the first five 1946/47 vehicles delivered to the Tank School also underwent repairs). In total, 125 ShPTK vz.40N assault guns were thus handed over to the army. Vehicles delivered in 1948 were sent to 11th Tank Brigade, 12th Tank Brigade and 14th Tank Brigade. However, the vehicles were stored in warehouses as untouchable supplies and no training was conducted on them. The only vehicles that were used were those at the Tank Training School.
The army used one other vehicle, the StuG III. This was a towing vehicle that was used in AZ 1 to tow repaired ShPTK vz.40N. This vehicle was stripped of its superstructure, the crew compartment was protected by an improvised wooden roof mounted on support posts. This vehicle bore the registration number 70.974 and after the cancellation of repairs in AZ 1 it was handed over to the tank armoury No.25 in Novi Jičín on 26.10.1950.


Pplk.Dr.Pavel Minařík CSc. writes the following about the status of ShPTK 40/75N:
Status as of 1.2.1949
11th Tank Brigade - 20 pieces
12th Tank Brigade - 16 pcs
24th Tank Brigade - 9 pcs
Tank Apprentice - 11 pcs

As of 4/1949 all ShPTK vz.40N were concentrated in the newly formed 352.tankosamohybny oddil in Turčiansky sv. Martin (since 1/10/1949 reorganized into 352.tankosamohybny delostrelecky regiment). In total, there were 115 ShPTK 40/75N vehicles (including the original five from the 352nd Tank-Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment) in the Tank Apprenticeship. The Tank Apprentice received eight ShPTK vz.40N registration numbers 67.512, 67.520, 67.525, 67.538, 67.540, 67.544, 67.553 and 79.640 from the interim repairs. The remaining pair of vehicles ev.numbers 79.618 and 79.637 were maintained in the status of the Tank Training School test section. In the test section, this pair of ShPTK vz.40N passed the tests with new tracks and rubberized running wheels. In 1949 the official designation of this type of vehicle was changed to SD 75/40.


In late 1950, the SD 75/40N vehicles were reassigned as part of another reorganization. The larger part (66 units) remained in the 2nd Tank Base at Martin, the remaining 59 were divided into a trio of new tank battalions and a trio of tank companies of infantry divisions.


6th Infantry Division - 9 pieces
7th Infantry Division - 10 pieces
9th Infantry Division - 10 pieces
10th Infantry Division - 10 pieces
13th Infantry Division - 10 pieces
14th Infantry Division - 10 pieces


As of 15 March 1955, there were still 118 SD-75/40s in the Army's records (49 pieces - 2nd Tank Base in Žilina (moved from Martin), 40 pieces in the tank-mobile regiments of the Rifle Divisions of the 2nd Military Area and 29 pieces in the 8th Rifle Brigade in Rajhrad). From 11/1953 these vehicles began to be replaced by licensed self-propelled guns SD-100.


Syrian trade
In early 1955, the Syrian army expressed interest in buying the SD-75/40. In a resolution of the Communist Party Central Committee's PB of 20 June 1955, 12 of these self-propelled guns were ordered to be exported. As early as 29.4.1955 the price was set at 3,250 pounds sterling apiece. Ten more SD-75/40s were dismantled in response to a request to supply spare parts as well.
The sale and acceptance of the combat vehicles took place between MNO-VTMV (Colonel Josef Šulc and technician Capt. Pavel Kozubík) and MZO-HTS (Lt. Jiří Krejcar) between 2.7.1955 and 4.8.1955. The SD 75/40 vehicles, together with spare parts and a supply of T-40/75 tanks, were successively transported in five transports (64 wagons). The last transport left Czechoslovak territory on 6.8.1955.
According to Petr Zídek, the transports were loaded in Constanţa, Romania. The dismantling of the other 10 SD-75/40s for spare parts was carried out by the personnel of the 2nd Tank Base only after the main part of the contract had been shipped. According to the terms of trade, the order for spare parts was to be fulfilled by 15 November 1955.
The second delivery of 20 SD-75/40 vehicles was made in 1956. They were received on 16.8.1956 again at the 2nd Tank Base in Žilina,3) and exported on 30.9.1956.
These self-propelled vehicles also took part in the 1967 "Six Day" war.


At the beginning of 1956 there were 95 SD-75/40s in condition after the first Syrian delivery. There were 35 units in units, 60 units were stored at the 2nd Tank Base in Žilina. One unit missing from the original 118-unit count in the 15/3/1955 records was probably also disassembled for spare parts.


4th Rifle Division in Trnava - 10 pieces
18th Rifle Division in Košice - 10 pieces
2nd Tank Base in Žilina - 60 pieces (16 pieces for the 21st Rifle Division, 22 pieces for the 30th Rifle Division and 2 pieces for the 32nd Rifle Division)
warehouse reserve for the 16th Rifle Division being mobilised - 8 pieces
stockpile reserve for the 17th Rifle Division being mobilised - 7 pieces


In 1/1957 there were 58 pieces of SD-75/40 in stock. 14 pieces each were received by the tank-propelled regiments of the 4th Rifle Division (9th Tank-Propelled Regiment ?) and the 18th Rifle Division (10th Tank-Propelled Regiment ?).
In 8/1958, only 24 Sd-75/40s were in the records of the 2nd Tank Base in Žilina. In 10/1958, 14 vehicles from the disbanded 4th Rifle Division were transferred to the 18th Motorized Artillery Division. By 1959, however, all the machines were concentrated in tank bases, and in 1960 these machines were officially taken out of service. However, a few machines still survived in the warehouses. As late as 1964, one machine was acquired from the 2nd Tank Base in Žilina for the museum collection of the SNP Museum in Banská Bystrica, where this exhibit is still there today. It is the only surviving machine in the former Czechoslovakia.


Czechoslovak projects:
Interestingly, there were efforts to modify the gun armament.
On 13 and 14 December 1950, at the ninth meeting of the DKS (artillery study commission), the possibility of rearming the StuG III with the Czechoslovak anti-tank cannon A 19 of 76.2 mm calibre was discussed. A study of this possibility was to be carried out at ČZTS (Československé závody těžkého strojírenství) by 3/1951. Representatives of the VTU (Military Technical Institute) and VTV (Tank Troop Command) were to participate in the project. The chassis needed for the project were to be delivered to Dubnica nad Váhom. These considerations were put to an end by the decision to stop the development of the A 19 gun. At the meeting of the State Technical Inspectorate of 8 June 1951, the proposal to rearm the StuG III with the Soviet tank gun vz. 44 of 85 mm calibre.


Further fate of SD-75/40:
SD 75/40N were used as props in several Czechoslovak war films (Captain Dabac from 1959, Song of the Grey Pigeon from 1961). The only preserved machine in the former Czechoslovakia is in the Slovak SNP Museum in Banská Bystrica.
The photo "stug cz.jpg" is probably from the 1970s (the source below gives the year as c. 1972) and shows an assault gun in a military training area. It was used as a training aid (practicing throwing practice rubber hand grenades ?). Interesting feature is the mounting of the towing traverse.

The record of the sale and acceptance of combat vehicles for sale to Syria shows the registration number 64.947, but this registration number does not appear for SD-75/40 in the list of vehicles prepared by Mr. Francev. Presumably, this could be a typo and could have been reference number 67.947, but this registration number is repeated on other pages of the report. It is therefore probably an error in Mr Franceva's work. Sold to Syria in 1955.

Sturmgeschütz IV in the Czechoslovak Army
On 28.11.1947, a meeting was held at the ČKD plant between representatives of the VTV (Tank Troop Command) and representatives of ČKD Praha-Libeň regarding the refurbishment of German tanks Pz.Kpfw.IV. One self-propelled gun StuG IV was listed in the inventory of material located directly in the factory. It was decided that this machine would also be repaired as part of the repairs. The self-propelled gun repaired at ČKD was taken over on 24.6.1948 together with the first batch of four repaired and two model tanks T-40/75N. The StuG IV received the registration number 67.488. It was sent to the tank apprentice. However, none of the other machines of this type found were repaired. The recovered machines were dismantled for spare parts. The guns and their accessories were to be used in the repair of ShPTK vz.40N in AZ 1, and the remaining parts (probably mostly chassis components) went to ČKD, which used them to repair Pz.Kpfw.IV. The 75mm ShPTK vz.40-IV N was listed under the designation 75mm ShPTK vz.40N (StuG III) in total numbers. This rare StuG IV is likely to have served in tank training. It is possible that the self-propelled gun then formed one of the museum specimens in the armoured vehicle collection of the Tank Apprentice. However, years later the entire collection was dismantled and the machines ended up in scrap, it is possible that this is how the StuG IV ended up as well.


The StuG IV is only known to me from footage in the film Song of the Grey Pigeon made in 1961. Its front hull is slightly modified, where some sort of hinged gun barrel support bracket is welded on. An interesting feature is the angular cannon shield.

StuG III v juhoslovanskej armáde
V bojoch na juhoslovanskom území medzi nemeckými jednotkami a jednotkami partizánov bolo ukoristených viacero strojov StuG III. Fotografie vlakového transportu techniky (vrátane StuG III) prevažne od nemeckej jednotky Pz.Abt. 202 v Ľubľane sú datované k 9.6.1945 via. Panzerwrecks 2 a 10. Tieto boli po skončení vojny zaradené do stavov novej juhoslovanskej armády (napr. 3. tanková brigáda). Informácie o počtoch a osudoch týchto strojov mi niesú známe. Mali slúžiť až do 50. rokov 20. storočia, pravdepodobne vo výcvikových jednotkách, kedy boli nahradené novou "východnou" i "západnou" technikou. Jeden stroj verzie StuG III Ausf. F/8 je vo vojenskom múzeu (Kalemegdanská pevnosť) v Belehrade.

StuG III vo fínskej armáde
Ďalším spojencom Nemecka za 2. svetovej vojny, ktorý používal StuG III, konkrétne verziu StuG III Ausf.G bolo Fínsko. To zakúpilo v roku 1943 prvých 30 ks tohoto útočného dela. Prvých 10 ks dorazilo 6.7.1943, ďalších 8 ks prišlo 10.8.1943 a konečne zvyšných 12 ks 3.9.1943. Prvé 4 ks boli dodané Asevarikko AV 6 v Jyväskylä (armádny sklad č.6), kde mali tvoriť rezervu.

Z 30 dodaných strojov bolo 10 ks vyrobených v berlínskom Alkett (Altmärkische Kettenwerk GmbH), 19 ks v MIAG (Mühlenbau und Industrie AG) v Braunschweig a 1 ks v M.A.N. (Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg) (Ps.531-17 - postavený na platforme Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M). Stroje obdržali fínske imatrikulačné označenia Ps.531-1 - Ps.531-30. Stroje boli skorej verzie StuG III Ausf.G (hranatý štít kanóna, podperné kladky s gumenou obručou, veliteľská vežička bez deflektora, starý štít guľometu a stará verzia poklopov nabíjača obsluhujúceho guľomet, priskrutkovaný prídavný čelný pancier - okrem posledného Ps.531-30 - je to zaujímavý hybrid vyrobený firmou Miag, ktorý už mal homogénny 80 mm pancier a nadstavbu mal zo skorej produkcie bez deflektora chrániaceho vežičku). Kamufláž bola klasická nemecká žltá.

V roku 1944 bolo dodaných ďalších 29 ks StuG III Ausf.G aktuálne vyrábaných výrobných sérií (cca stredná produkčná séria) s adekvátnymi zmenami konštrukcie (štít kanóna Topfblende, starý typ štítu guľometu, absencia Nahverteidigungswaffe, niektoré stroje mali podperné kladky s gumovou obručou, niektoré už celokovové bez i s odľahčovacími otvormi, poklopy nabíjača odklápateľné do strán, pevná veliteľská vežička s periskopmi, lisované držiaky blatníkov, montážne úchyty pre pomocný žeriav na streche korby...). Prvých 5 ks dorazilo do Fínska 29.6.1944, 7 ks dorazilo 2.7.1944, 3 ks 6.7.1944, 6 ks 3.8.1944 a zvyšných 8 ks bolo dodaných 8.8.1944. Z toho bolo 24 ks vyrobených v továrni Alkett a 5 ks v MIAG (všetky pravepodobne so starým hranatým štítom kanóna). Stroje mali nanesený zimmerit. Stroje firmy Alkett niesli waflový vzor, stroje MIAG dlaždicový vzor. Kamufláž bola klasická nemecká žltá.

Stroje sa podrobili viacerým fínskym modifikáciám. V roku 1943 a začiatkom roku 1944 boli modifikované štíty guľometu, na ktoré sa navaril úchyt pre sovietsky guľomet DT a zväčšil sa otvor pre túto zbraň. Sovietsky guľomet nahradil pôvodný nemecký MG-34. Posádky nemali ako osobné zbrane samopaly MP-40, ale fínske Suomi. Boli odstránené predstavné panciere "schurzen", pretože ich Fíni považovali za nepraktické. Rezervné pojazdové kolesá na väčšine vozidiel boli premiestnené zo zadnej vrchnej časti korby na boky bojovej nadstavby. Na ich pôvodnom mieste bola umiestnená drevená bedňa s náradím. Stroje dostali v roku 1943 typickú fínsku kamufláž tvorenú poliami zelenej, pieskovo hnedej a svetlo sivej farby. Obdržali identifikačné čísla a fínsku svastiku (Hakaristi). Keďže fínsko-sovietske boje boli v tom čase ukončené, tak posádky a ich stroje prechádzali výcvikom.

9.6.1944 začala veľká sovietska ofenzíva s cieľom obsadiť Fínsko čoby nemeckého spojenca. V tejto tzv. pokračovacej vojne (Jatkosota) boli nasadené fínske StuGy ako jedny z najmodernejších zbraní fínskej armády. V bojoch 15.6.1944 bolo pri Kuuterselkä stratených 5 ks StuGov, 28.6.1944 pri Tali-Ihantala boli stratené 2 ks StuG. Po skúsenostiach z bojov bolo pristúpené k úpravám strojov za účelom zlepšenia ochrany strojov. Boli namontované celuloidové záštity periskopov vo veliteľskej vežičke, na boky korby boli navarené držiaky drevených klád, drevené bedničky nesené na strope motorového priestoru mali byť znížené, na predný čelný pancier boli upevnené náhradné články pásov, ktoré zosilnili pancierovú ochranu tejto časti stroja, čelo nadstavby bolo zosilnené betónovými výplňami, povolené bolo označovanie skóre jednotlivých strojov víťaznými prúžkami a povolili sa i nápisy-mená strojov, ktorými ich pomenovali posádky. S týmito modifikáciami bolo v následných bojoch zničené len jedno samohybné delo dňa 11.7.1944 pri Vuosalmi. Neskôr bolo pristúpené k montáži dodatočných deflektorov chrániacich kanón pred vniknutím striel. Ďalšími úpravami bola montáž prídavného panciera na boky podvozkovej časti korby a oceľový deflektor chrániaci priezor vodiča. Úpravy strojov prebiehali ako v armádnych dielňach, tak i priamo v poľných podmienkach a nemali ich všetky stroje, zmeny boli prevádzané priebežne. Rovnako to bolo s kamuflážami strojov. Sú známe snímky z 9/1944, kde majú stroje jednotný náter tmavozelenou farbou. Zaujímavé je, že do bojov neboli nasadené všetky stroje, odhaduje sa, že sa ich zúčastnilo okolo 20. Zvyšné boli držané ako záloha, niektoré boli zdrojom náhradných dielov (napr. Ps.531-13 bol takto kanibalizovaný už v roku 1943). Počas troch týždňov bojov tak stratila fínska armáda 8 ks StuGov. Tieto straty vynahrádzali víťaztvá, ktoré získali posádky útočných diel. Udáva sa zničenie 87 tankov a množstvo inej techniky.

V septembri 1944 bolo so Sovietskym zväzom podpísané prímerie s tým, že sa fínska strana zaviaže vojensky vystúpiť proti svojemu nemeckému spojencovi. To viedlo k tzv. Laponskej vojne. Samohybné delá StuG III sa týchto viac, či menej intenzívnych bojov nezúčastnili. Po skončení vojny boli StuGy stále v stavoch fínskej armády a prešli ďalšími mdernizačnými úpravami. Zhruba desiatka strojov sa používala k výcviku, zvyšok bol uskladnený pre ďalšiu potrebu. Stroje dostali celozelenú kamufláž, svastiku nahradil kruhový znak fínskeho letectva.

Ďalšia modernizácia prebehla začiatkom 50. rokov a týkala sa týchto úprav :

* bol odstránený zimmerit a provizórne zlepšenie pancierovej ochrany betónom
* úložný box na vybavenie bol umiestnený na pravý bok nadstavby, na pravej strane v prednej časti nadstavby bola umiestnná schránka s hasiacim prístrojom
* rezervné kolesá sa presunuli na svoje pôvodné miesto, dozadu na strop motorového priestoru
* zmeny uloženia sa dotkli i ďalšieho pomocného vybavenia (páčidlá, uchytenie ťažých lán a atď.)
* čelný pancier nadstavby na strane nabíjača (napravo od kanóna) dostal betónovú výstuž cca 50 mm
* montovali sa nové predné i zadné svetlá
* na boky korby v priestoroch podvozku sa montovali články pásov pre zvýšenie pancierovej ochrany
* poklopy nad prevodovkou dostali rúčky pre lepšie otváranie
* niektoré stroje dostali podpory pre hlaveň
* stroje z dodávok z roku 1943 dostali zváraný klinovitý deflektor pred veliteľskú vežičku
* niektoré stroje dostali nový guľometný štít (vyrobené napr. i z panciera ukoristených sovietských tankov BT-7)

Zmeny "nepostihli" všetky stroje rovnako, často dochádzalo k mixovaniu dielov strojov z roku 1943 a 1944. Charakteristickým znakom nedostatku náhradných dielov boli pásy, ktoré posádky kvôli opotrebovaniu montovali opačne.
Vzhľadom na nemožnosť získania náhradných dielov postupne dochádzalo ku kanibalizácii niektorých a následnému vyraďovaniu jednotlivých strojov. V roku 1958 boli z Nórska okrem 20 ks Pz.Kpfw.III a jedného StuG odkúpené niektoré náhradné diely (vrátane 10 ks motorov). V roku 1960 bolo operačných ešte 45 ks Stugov. Vyradenie nastalo v roku 1966, ich poslednou úlohou bolo stráženie letiska v zakopanom stave ešte v roku 1980, niektoré sa stali cvičnými cieľmi na vojenských strelniciach a mnohé sa stali múzejnými exponátmi v rôznych múzeách rôznych krajín. Fínsko je krajina s najväčším počtom zachovaných StuG na svete. Viaceré sú dokonca pojazdné. V roku 2007 odpredala fínska armáda niekoľko zachovaných exponátov (3 ks) v medzinárodne veľmi sledovanej zberateľskej aukcii.
Počas služby boli dve stroje modifikované do podoby cvičných strojov Stu-40K a jeden stroj skončil rozrezaný ako výuková pomôcka.

StuG III in the Hungarian army (Honvédség)

Akútny "lack of principles" obrnenej techniques of the Hungarian army (Honvédségu) bol riešený supply nemeckej techniques. The first 10 pcs machines StuG III Ausf.G was delivered 2. páncélos hadoszztály (2. obrnená divízia) in 5/1944, another 20 pcs bolo Hungarian army supplied in 8/1944, and for the past 20 pcs in 9/1944. Machines tvorili armament práporov offensive ' twas a (Rotü osztály). For the past 40 pcs nieslo tactical numerical označenia numbers 700 - 740. Pôvodné numerical označenie práporov self-propelled ' twas a (1. - 8.) bolo altered to (6., 7.(*), 10.(*), 13., 16., 20., 24. and 25. - under jurisdiction to divízii rovnakého značenia). Väčšinou sa was a unit armed with Zrínyi II and preich "lack of principles" and Turán II and the numbers complemented each other StuG III. Under počtov, which I have to dispozícii, najväčšou unit. that mala vo armor StuG III bol 7. colors offensive ' twas a, who in the framework of the IV. the corps fought in the 9/1944 on hungary-rumunskom pomedzí in the field of Transylvania.
In nastávajúcich bojoch boli prápory offensive ' twas extensively decimated. In 11/1944 bola from ich zbytkov (6., 7., 10., 13., 16. and 24. Ro.tü.about. - niektoré resources udávajú i 1., but 1. Rotü osztály mala albeit prečíslovaná, so...) built in such a way fighting a group of Billnitzer (under the Hungarian general Erno Billnitzera), which was formed to defend the Budapest. Pop group the mala confound vraj 8 StuGov (possible su in this počte even the Jagdpanzer 38(t)) and 30 - 32 pcs machines Turán II. The numbers of StuGov in individual units nieje too prehľadné. Even the source najhodnovernejší from his mas Clement/Bernáda is a little zmätočný. In one passage I'm writing about jedných počtoch, in the other a's. It nt sa concerns dodávok StuGov Hungarian army.

StuG III in dánskej army
Minenkommando Dänemark


Evolution okupácie Denmark Nemeckom bolo in krajine lying around 1.5 milóna anti-tank and protipechotných meen. Prevažná časť ich bola on the bank, as appropriate, in hlavných oporných bodoch of the German forces vo vnútrozemí. Many mínových fields bolo podrobne zmapovaných themselves nemeckými vojakmi and zajatcami. There were, however, also niektoré sections where drawings do not exist (eg. pobrežné area, in ktorých sa míny pri prílivovej and odlivovej the activities of the mora were presúvané) and or still spoľahlivo odmínované.
Completely after the end of the military were to odmínovacích jobs involvement nemeckí prisoners of war. From 11.5.1945 evolution 4 and pol mesiaca managed approximately 2600 German ženistov zlikvidovať 1 402 000 meen. For the tejto the work of the ich 149 killed, 165 sa seriously injured and 167 sa injured ľahko (the concept of ľahké zranenie - mean stratu niektorej of končatín). Evolution odmínovacích jobs were hurt for len traja from 52 dánskych vojakov, ktorí sa týchto jobs attended.
Pred koncom the military and after the best vládol in oslobodených the landscapes of the opinion that the German mínové polia would mali odmínovať former occupiers. Jednako sa im prisudzovala morálna zodpovednosť, jednako bolo dangerous nechať odmínovacie work on allied units, or civilných zamestnancov, ktorí sa nevyznali in German mínach so, ako ich predchádzajúci užívatelia. The work of the sa should then pretiahli on oveľa dlhšie obdobie, than it took the German ženistom.
Minenkommando Dänemark tvorili of drvivej part of the dobrovoľníci. Tee worked on odmínovaní under dozorom German and dánskych kontrolných orgánov. Spravidla protipechotné sections were odmínovávané classic ručne, zmiešané mínové polia where sa nachádzali and anti-tank míny were čistené even with the help of nemeckej obrnenej techniques. Used the sa tanks, self-propelled makes and polopásové disposed of, the town were ukoristené on the territory of Denmark, or were supplied by the british vojakmi. For machines sa montovali 2-3 odmínovacie war. Tank prešiel mínovým poľom this exactly vytýčenej route and only after it prejdení bolo mínové field vyhlásené for the net. The first war were made of concrete, no tie sa rýchlo destroyed after niekoľkých výbuchoch. Preto were produced by the new war of steel in the oceliarni Varde. In pôvodnom the source is indicated hmotnosť 320 kg, dĺžka 35 cm and priemer 40 cm, but after vizuálnom skúmaní sa me tieto data nezdajú properly.
Used vozidlá quite often poškodené mínami the town vybuchovali pod kolesami tankov and ich maintenance bola problematic. Problémom were also conductors, ktorí nemali skúsenosti s jazdou in piesočných dunes and flooded oblastiach and often dochádzalo to zapadnutiu strojov.
Odmínovacia group Minenkommando Dänemark used the addition, however, three Ca.Kpfw.III Ausf.N of 233. Panzer Division, two self-propelled makes StuG III StuG III Ausf.G and quite a StuG III Ausf.B) ukoristené from Sturmgeschütz-Ersatz und Ausbildungs-Abteilung 400 (staff was based in the Haderslebene), one polopásový transporter Sd.Kfz.251 from the 233. Panzer Division and one polopásový delostrelecký ťahač Sd.Kfz.9, which bol for the military used agent Kriegsmarine.
One of the StuG (výrobné number 93122) mal demontovaný cannon and the hole after ňom bol blinded by predstavným pancierom "schurzen" from the tank Ca.Kpfw.III.

StuG III were after tejto odmínovacej kariére probably zaradené ako training vozidlá. In 1958 malo albeit one self-propelled delo predané Fínsku .

StuG III vo francúzskej armáde
Po "Dni D" a pri postupe spojeneckých vojsk cez územie Francúzska vznikla improvizovaná bojová skupina "escadron autonome de chars Besnier". Veliteľom bol poručík jazdectva v zálohe Besnier a jeho skupina bola tvorená tzv. slobodnými Francúzmi. Skupina bola súčasťou väčšej odbojovej skupiny FFI(Forces Francaises de l´Intérieur). Pri postupnom oslobodzovaní ich vlasti jednotka ukoristila viacero bojových strojov vrátane dvoch vozidiel StuG III Ausf.G. Tie boli vedené v stave jednotky k 12/1944. Stroje sa následne zúčastnili operácií zmienenej jednotky proti nemeckým vojskám. Bližšie podrobnosti zatiaľ nemám.
Po skončení vojny boli istý čas využívané, no bližšie informácie mi chýbajú. Pravdepodobne boli len uskladnené, prípadne sa využívali na výcvik.

StuG III in the Norwegian Army
After the end of World War II in 5/1945, StuG III self-propelled guns[/url], among other armoured equipment, were acquired by the Norwegians as booty. By the time the Cold War was in full swing, the need to protect Norwegian air bases from possible Soviet attack had arisen. To do this, captured German tanks (Pz.Kpfw.III) and StuG III were to be used. These were to be included in the Flypasstropp special troops. The units began to be formed at the end of 1948 and were to have bases in Gardermoen near the capital Oslo, in Sola and in Værnes. The StuG III machines carried the Stormkanon KW-III designation in Norway. They were concentrated and repaired in Trandume. As of 1 October 1949, tank units were formed and deployed as follows :
DR1 (Dragonregiment) in Sola, DR2[/i:in Eggemoen, DR3 in Værnes. The first unit armed with armoured vehicles was the unit in Sole, which had one Pz.Kpfw.III and one StuG III Ausf.G in addition to three Pz.Kpfw.III, and another StuG in reserve. In 1951, the units were supplemented with new types of armoured vehicles imported from the USA. The original armament continued to serve alongside the new armament. One StuG was to be delivered to Finland in 1958.
The only surviving StuG III has recently been refurbished and is part of a newly established historical museum/park at the Rena leir military base. It is an early model version of the StuG III Ausf.G. According to the restorers, the machine was camouflaged in African battlefield camouflage and bore the Afrikakorps(palm tree) emblem. This machine was supposed to be part of a weapons delivery to North Africa, but was not delivered.

StuG III v rumunskej armáde
Rumunsko obdržalo od svojho nemeckého spojenca v rámci plánu dodávok samohybných diel Quittenbaum I medzi 11/1943 až 8/1944 120 ks samohybných diel StuG III Ausf.G (rumunské označenie "TA"). Iné zdroje hovoria o dodaní 108 ks strojov (z toho 4 ks v roku 1944 a zvyšných 104 ks v roku 1944). Stroje tvorili výzbroj rôznych novovytváraných jednotiek (1. tanková divízia, 8. motorizovaná jazdecká divízia), resp. bojových skupín, ktoré vznikali z dôvodu neutešenej situácie na fronte. Stroje pochádzali práve z týchto vytváraných jednotiek. Mnohé stroje boli zabavované nemeckými jednotkami. Viaceré rumunské improvizované jednotky boli zaradené do nemeckých jednotiek (nemecká 20. tanková divízia).

Po štátnom prevrate v Rumunsku 23.8.1944 boli rumunské stroje obrátené proti niekdajšiemu spojencovi. 30.8.1944 Rumunsko vyhlásilo vojnu Maďarsku, s ktorým takmer okamžite zviedli urputné boje. Keďže Sovieti brali Rumunsko ako porazený štát, bola jeho ťažká výzbroj zabavovaná a to spôsobovalo vážne problémy v bojovej činnosti rumunských vojsk. Podporu dostávali len jednotky loajálne sovietskému vedeniu. Zvyšné stroje StuG III boli sústredené v 2. tankovom pluku 1.obrnenej divízie. Po sústredení zvyšných síl hrozilo ich zabavenie, no vzhľadom na oslabenie sovietských síl, bol rozkaz ku konfiškácii obrnenej techniky zrušený a rumunské jednotky, ktoré stále predstavovali slušnú bojovú silu boli narýchlo odoslané na podporu sovietskych vojsk na južné Slovensko. Tu započali svoju poslednú bojovú činnosť prekročením rieky Hron a postupom k rieke Nitra. Nasledoval postup cez rieku Váh k Bratislave a odtiaľ smerom k rieke Morave. Nasledovali náročné záverečné boje na severe Rakúska, neskôr bola jednotka presunutá na bojiská na južnej Morave. Neustále prudké strety pripravili pluk takmer o všetku techniku. Koniec vojny zastihol jednotku juhozápadne od Brna. Jednotka sa bez akéhokoľvek TA do Rumunska vrátila 22.7.1945.
V povojnovom období bolo väčšie množstvo týchto samohybných diel dodaných zo skladov Sovietskej armády. K 15.11.1947 mala rumunská armáda v stave ešte 31 samohybných diel.

StuG III in the Spanish Army
The Spanish Army received 10 StuG III Ausf.G in 11/1943 (Alkett). The machines served as trainers in the artillery school until 1954. One StuG III was converted in the 1970s as a test platform for trials of the Spanish G-1 artillery rocket (380 mm calibre). After years of use, proposals were made to convert the self-propelled guns to their own design (Obús Autopropulsado De 105mm).
In Spain, 4 pieces of this self-propelled gun have been preserved so far. One is located in the former barracks of Brigada Acorazada XII, in today's El Goloso museum in Madrid. The other two are in the Museo de Artilleria in Cartagena (manufacture by Alkett chassis no. 92812 - undergoing restoration to mobile condition). The last one is in located in the park Centro de Mantenimiento de Sistemas Acorazados no. 2 in Segovia.
The fate of the remaining machines is unclear, they have probably become practice targets at firing ranges. It is being considered whether some have been sold to Syria.
