The book "Niemieckie działa szturmowe II Wojny Światowej" by Thomas Anderson

In 1935, the German ground forces began creating Sturmartillerie - assault artillery units composed of armored and infantry vehicle units capable of breaking through enemy fortifications. For their purposes, combat vehicles characterized by a low silhouette and strong frontal armor were developed, which were the ideal type of weapons to support German infantry units and destroy cannons, machine gun nests and enemy bunkers.

Thomas Anderson details the history of the German assault artillery, which made its combat debut in the 1940 French campaign and then underwent a real fire test on the Eastern Front. It describes the development and evolution of self-propelled assault guns (StuG) and other support vehicles used by Sturmartillerie units, and outlines their technical characteristics and modernization changes. It also discusses the tactics used by these formations in various phases of the war. Here is a reliably documented work that presents the development and combat route of innovative for its time German assault artillery formations.
