Vehicle History

One of thirty supplied by Germany to Finland in 1943. Our exhibit was supplied from Finland and includes certain features that are peculiar to the Finnish Army Sturmgeschutz - these include a storage bin on the right front, a second bin at the rear of the superstructure, (possibly for a radio), and a gun cradle on the front of the hull. For a while it was displayed in German colours but in 2007 it was retored to its original (Finnish) condition and is now displayed as such.
