Two photos of Finnish StuGs with side skirt plates and so far the only ones I have ever seen. The latter is said to be from 1944 and curiously the skirts are freshly painted. Why would they have added the side skirt back for a single tank?
Also a very nice photo of StuGs in a post-war exercise.
Another good find today:
How the roof DT machine gun was mounted on those vehicles without gun shield.
It’s certainly not going to work for anti-anti air, but at least in WT that works for 360.
What is that thing it is mounted on? The round thing in front of loader’s hatch? Is it a closed fume extractor?
Where the 360° Rundumfeuer MG WOULD be mounted. However not all vehicles got it nor aparently this one as such they were simply blocked off, like the smoke/shrapnell Genade launcher some vehicles had in the roof.
