The Sturmgeschütz IV (StuG IV) (Sd.Kfz. 167) was a German assault gun variant of the Panzer IV used in the mid-late period of the Second World War. Identical in role and concept to the highly successful StuG III assault gun variant of the Panzer III both StuG models were quickly transitioned to a full-time tank destroyer role in the German retreats following the Battle of Kursk.
