"Yancy,

your Sturmpanzer IV is # 11 from Sturmpanzer-Abteilung 216, lost in June 1944 in the vicinity of Rome, Italy. Other pictures clearly show the number 11 in white.

Cheers

Matthias"

some very nice photos!

Here is a destroyed panzer at Monte Cassino! Not real sure it is not a STuG.

sorry, wrong thread

This is my Father on the right and his friend near Kitzingen 1945. He does not remember exactly where this was because as he puts it, "there was s**t like that all over the place".

Cool picture John with your father.

I think this type of panzer is the same type of which I have a picture of. Is it a Stug or Sturmhaubitze?

The one from my picture is abandoned/destroyed by her crew in Moerdijk (Holland) november 1944.

regards Erwin

Bill Here is a new pickeup from a small grouping taken at Monte Cassino. A knocked out STuG. There are 4 snaps total and looks like the soldier is using either a very cheap camera or still hasn't got the knack of his liberated Leica.

Thanks, he says this one was not knocked out but ran out of fuel and was abandoned near the Airbase.
