Great link showing performance characteristics of German Stugs in 1943.

Gives insight on US military intelligence at this point in the WAR (1943) regarding German armour. Interesting...

Sturmgeschütz units held a very impressive record of tank kills - some 20,000 enemy tanks by spring of 1944 [2]. As of April 10, 1945

Usually a 3 digit number.

Aleph, you are correct, the Frontschau vid is no more.
Look this.

By the way this is an Stug Ace, Oberwachmeister Richard Schramm, Stu brigade 202, Ritterkreuz for destroying 44 enemy armored vehicles, missed in action in november 1942.
