description: "The Sturmgesch\xFCtz III (StuG III) assault gun was Germany's most-produced\
\ fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle during World War II, and second-most produced\
\ German armored combat vehicle of any type after the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. It\
\ was built on a slightly modified Panzer III chassis, replacing the turret with\
\ an armored, fixed superstructure mounting a more powerful gun. Initially intended\
\ as a mobile assault gun for direct-fire support for infantry, the StuG III was\
\ continually modified, and much like the later Jagdpanzer vehicles, was employed\
\ as a tank destroyer."
