StuG III

[Shutuphippie]

All hi,

I was wondering if anyone could advise if a StuG has 1 or 2 radio antennae? I've seen images of some with none, some with one and some with two. Not sure if the two antennae ones are command vehicles?

Cheers

According to the Encyclopedia of German tanks, Ausf G had two radios, whereas all the other marks had one radio.

Osprey NV19 adds:
Ausf A-D had one radio
Ausf E had two radios if PHQ and Battery HQ vehicles
From March 1941 an order specified Ausf A-D were retrofitted with 2nd radio if PHQ & Battery HQ vehicles.
