Schurzen for StuG III Ausf.G (Field Modification)
art. P35-008
Side shields made of thin armoured plates were used in German tanks and StuGs since spring 1943. They were supposed to protect side armour against High Explosive Ani-Tank (HEAT) shells.
Unfortunately, too much complicated system of assembling often made vehicles loose them during combat. Because of poor supplies, the field workshops had to modify this system by themselves.
