Additional Information
Sturmpanzer I became the first assault self-propelled artillery installation of the Third Reich. The originality of the design was that the body of the tank PzKpfw I Ausf B was delivered 150-mm heavy infantry gun sIG 33vmeste with carriage and wheels. Constructive solutions were far from elegant. Self-propelled gun had a number of significant drawbacks, but despite this was popular because of the high firepower.
the First prototype was tested on 29 Jan 1940-propelled gun received the official name of the 15cm sIG33(Sf) aufPz.Kpfw.IAusf.B, but in most foreign sources it is referred to as Sturmpanzer I “Bison”. The order for 38 cars was executed by Alkett firm within several months.
