The Pz.Kpfw.III, which was known more commonly as the Pz.Kpfw.III, was developed during the 1930s and used extensively in World War II. It was originally designed to fight other armoured fighting vehicles, fighting beside the infantry-support Pzkw IV. By 1942, it was largely obsolete in this role and was replaced by the up-gunned Pz.Kpfw.IV, though some would continue to be used for infantry support until late in the war. The Ausf.G was armed with the 50 mm KwK38 L/42 anti-tank gun. The Pz.Kpfw.III saw action against Poland, France, the Soviet Union and in North Africa, and some were still in use in Normandy and Arnhem in 1944. In the early campaigns against Poland and France they outclassed their opponents, in part due to the German use of a 3-man turret crew with the commander responsible for maintaining situational awareness..

The Sturmgeschutz/StuG.III series of combat vehicles was based on the lower hull of the Pz.Kpfw.III and featured a fixed upper superstructure. The design of the Sturmgeschutz/StuG allowed it to be quickly upgraded with the 7.5cm L/43 and shortly thereafter the excellent 7.5cm StuK40 L/48 which turned it into one of the best tank killers of the war. Since the roll of the Sturmgeschutz/StuG had quickly changed the infantry were left without direct fire support. To fill this gap it was decided to mount a modified version of the 10.5cm le F.H. 18 howitzer in the Sturmgeschutz/StuG.III Ausf.G. This version was designated 10.5cm Sturmhaubitze 42 Ausf.G or StuH 42 Ausf.G for short. The Sturmgeschutz/StuG and the StuH are virtually identical with the exception of the gun, gun sleeve and ammunition storage. The StuH 42 provided much needed fire support for the infantry yet it still retained some anti-tank capability through the use of hollow charged 105mm shells. A ratio of 7 Sturmgeschutz/StuG to 3 StuH vehicles in each Battery was viewed as correct, but seldom possible.
