Heavily Destroyed 

The only StuG III of Sturmgeschütz Brigade 242 (StuG Abteilung 242) survived to the heavy Allied Montecassino air and artillery bombardment on 15 March 1944. The StuG, crew chief Oberwachtmeister Schumann, remained hidden and under cover between the ruins of the Continental Hotel. In the ruins his crew rested during the day but during the night sustained effectively the Fallschirmjäger’s sorties against the enemy. This until April when was destroyed, as seem, by a New Zealander Sherman tank. Victor Sierra
