When One StuG III Crushed 24 T-34s in a Day: Ace Commander Hugo Primozic’s Hour of Glory

When discussing WWII tank warfare and German Panzer Aces, it's no surprise that the feats of commanders in the renowned Tiger or Panther tanks often steal the spotlight.

However, this focus on their achievements can overshadow the fact that the German army had numerous other tankers who achieved significant victories with more modest vehicles.

Among these was the Sturmgeschütz or StuG series of armored fighting vehicles.

While Tigers and Panthers have earned greater infamy, the assault guns collectively destroyed more tanks at a far lower cost.

StuG crews were selected from among the best candidates and were considered the elite of the Heer’s artillery units.

And over the years, the StuG arm produced plenty of its own brave and decorated commanders. Today, we'll introduce you to one of them: Oberwachtmeister Hugo Primozic.
