This StuG used to be outside at the Finnish Armour Museum in Parola, Finland with it's port side cut up so the public could see into the vehicle. The vehicle has also been photographed in this configuration with a crew in place.

Now the StuG is being restored and has after many years been put on display again. I have been told that the restoration will continue until the StuG is as original as possible.

The vehicle is one of the vehicles manufactured at the MIAG factory featuring the typical early fender-supports and gun-mantlet while the return-rollers and the roof are of late production. The roof also has Pilsen-mounts. This particular vehicle was the only one having the co-axial machine-gun, firing through the (early) gun-mantlet. Another late and early feature mixed.
