150mm sIG 33 auf Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) (self-propelled 150mm howitzer), German.
Initial production 1942.
The self-propelled German 150mm howitzer is mounted on the chassis of the 38(t), a tank of Czechoslovakian design. After the Germans occupied Czechoslovakia they continued production at the Prague factory of the 38(t) tank and its excellent chassis, to which the Germans mounted various antitank guns and artillery pieces. This vehicle had a crew of four and could reach a top road speed of 22 mph. American forces captured this vehicle from the Germans in Italy. |
