Sturmgeschütz III
Several Nazi made tank destroyers were captured
by the IDF from Syrian positions during the Six Day War in 1967.
Like the PzKpfw IV, this tank was transferred to the Syrians by
the Soviet Army. This one is an early production model with extra
armor bolted on in front of the loader's position.

The StuG III was based on Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf F chassis and
components. It entered production in 1940 and mounted a 75mm StuK
37 L/24 gun offset to the right in a sloped superstructure. |
