History of the StuG IV zimmerit Solido base
From March 1943, Guderian proposed to Hitler to assign assault guns to the tank battalions of the armored divisions. In order to simplify the problems posed by maintenance and spare parts, it was decided to develop an assault gun based on the Pz.KpfW.IV. In November 1943 a prototype was implemented and presented to Hitler on December 16 of the same year.
The demonstration went well and the series order was placed immediately. The working basis for this model was the Stug.III body adapted to the Panzer IV chassis with several major improvements. Despite the superior performance of the Jagdpanzer IV made from the same chassis, production of the assault gun continued until December 1944 for a total of approximately 1000 pieces.
