Rare original period black & white photograph showing the 'Sturmgeschütz IV'. The Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV / Sd.Kfz. 167) was a German assault gun variant of the Panzer IV used in the latter part of the Second World War, identical in role and concept to the highly successful StuG III. The StuG IV on the photograph is equipped with a '7.5 cm StuK 40 L/48' and additional armor plates are mounted on the sides. The photo's measures approximately 6 x 8,5 cms. There is some writing on the back of the photo, this is however hard to read. Original period photographs of the StuG IV are very scarce and hard to find. Great original photograph!
