Inside the StuG III with Hilary Louis Doyle | Arsenalen Swedish Tankmuseum 

I agree it would be nice to have a quick photograph of the sight picture. Stick a piece of white paper in front of the sight maybe an arm's length away for the contrast and to allow light through. I know it is a damnable nuisance to focus lens through lens, especially modern digital cameras that have auto-focus programming that can be very temperamental, but it would be useful information that tends to be overlooked. After all, most people will never get to sit in a Stug III's gunner's position, and realizing just how limited the fields of vision armored fighting vehicles have is something more people need to appreciate when making assumptions about how the vehicles could perform.

There is somewhere tne photos of the German gun sights but not all of them! You have to look for the links unfortunately...

I can help with this one..it's a series of triangles. Six with a larger one in center. You use the size of the vehicle in the sites to estimate range.

That area has a rich 800 years old worth of Austro and German history. The Germans which lived in that area and also formed the majority in that area wanted to be a part of Germany and not live under a czech den of thieves and their oppression. On top of that the Czechs also sealed their fate when they parted with the USSR and gave green light to use Prague as a springboard to Germany if ever the USSR would plan to go to war against Germany. That "conquest" wouldnt happened if the Czech leadership would simply let their feet still by letting the German population have their culture and also not be such best buddies with the war mongering communists which waged wars in europe back then

Do you know who this man is? He probably knows more about German tanks and AFV's than any person living on this planet

@@stefankarlsson9762sorry for bringing this up, again. But it changes a bit general accuracy of information. When providing a huge amount of accurate data and making beginners mistake. I am aware that it it a bed habit to say russia instead of soviet union

Stug's were used throughout the war on all fronts. Russia was no exception and they were not far from Moscow in 1941. Most of the Eastern Front was not even a part of the Soviet Union until Stalin and friends went on a power grab everyone else was busy. Google image search Stug III Barbarossa - or listen to HLD - who is the foremost living expert on German armour. And to be historically accurate the Germans at the time referred to the Soviet Union as Russia.

​@@lilandrydo you get this mad when someone says America and not USA?

@@raseli4066 oh, so you thinking that soviet union and russia is the same country? why don't you say then that m1 Abrams is a British tank because it was made in Thirteen Colonies of British Empire. this is literally a different countries russia was a part of soviet union as well as 18 other republics so you should acknowledge their existence also. during ww2 there was no such country as russia, check when it was formed as independent state and that it wasnt transformed for soviet union as well, russia left soviet union a proclaimed independence, not changed name like Germany did when started calling themselves third reich.
