The StuH 42 Ausf. G was a German assault gun used during World War II. 'StuH' is short for 'Sturmhaubitze', meaning 'assault gun' in German. The Ausf. G model was a development of the earlier StuH 42 versions, specifically the Ausf. F version. The StuH 42 Ausf. G was mounted on a Panzer III or Panzer IV tank chassis, allowing it to move effectively on the battlefield. The StuH 42's main armament was a 105 mm howitzer that could fire at both ground and anti-tank targets. Its primary role was to support infantry and destroy fortified targets and enemy strongpoints. It was used in a variety of roles, such as supporting during attacks, defending, and destroying enemy fortifications.

The StuH 42 Ausf. G played a significant role on the fronts of World War II, especially in the later years of the conflict, where its firepower contributed to supporting German ground forces in difficult battles. Although its production was limited, it was a vital part of the German arsenal during the war.
