Unreal and thanks for the link. But isn't Maybach an engine and not a STG?

[Asbjoern]

Yes, the object shown in the picture is one of the StuG III.
The "Maybach" term seems to be traditional bulgarian when talking of old german tanks ! Every article on these vehicles calls them Maybach, no matter if they are talking about PzIV or StuG III ... In fact nearly every tracked german vehicle had an engine at least constructed by Maybach company.

You dont have to feel bad anylonger, alarmed by this steel the bulgarians saved all tanks.
There is a great thread about those:

There was just ONE german involved.

[Arran]

Ah, that's right- it says the other German was given a 3 year suspended sentence...so I wonder if the remaining one was handed over...

Its whereabouts are currently unknown. I think I have read somewhere it is a Jagdpanzer IV, but I'm not sure.
