Kauppinen (C) Tankspotting / Mediapalvelut 2024 The Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) was an assault gun produced by Germany during World War II. It was the most-produced fully tracked armoured fighting vehicle, and second-most produced German armored combat vehicle of any type after the . 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. The Overloon War Museum (Dutch: Oorlogsmuseum Overloon) is located in Overloon, Netherlands. The museum was opened on May 25, 1946 as the National War and Resistance Museum, making it one of the oldest museums in Europe dedicated to the Second World War. The museum is located on the site of the Battle of Overloon, a World War II tank and infantry battle between Allied and German forces that occurred in September and October 1944, in the aftermath of Operation Market Garden. The museum is set in 14 hectares of woodland and is the largest of its kind in the Netherlands. The museum receives approximately 120,000 visitors annually. After the Battle of Overloon, an enormous amount of war materiel, including tanks and other vehicles, was left behind on the battlefield. Overloner Harry van Daal was so shocked by the events that he proposed keeping the battlefield intact and turning it into a museum. On May 25, 1946, the National War and Resistance Museum was opened by British General Whistler (1898-1963), commander of the 11th British Armored Division and the 3rd British Infantry Division that had conquered Overloon. The museum has a park of approximately 1000 by 500 m, making it one of the largest museums in the Netherlands, measured in terms of land area. #tankspotting #Oorlogsmuseum # -- Thanks so much for watching.
