STURMGESCHUTZ LONG GUN VERSIONS IN 1/15 SCALE VOL.2, “Forward and at the enemy! Assault guns are an offensive weapon and give the infantry immediate, powerful support through mobility, fire, and striking power.”----- This was in the Sturmgeschutz training manuals; The Sturmgeschutz crews had to prove themselves in action, the first to meet the enemy, the first to go and fight and defend with their lives if need be. The Sturmgeschutz crews knew that only sheer energy and guts, the will to hang tough against all odds would win the situation, it was cast- iron stomachs and nerves of steel that so deeply stirred their souls, The Sturmgeschutz crew’s fighting motto was: “Lost are only those who abandon themselves!” that only the unshakable faith in a high ideal could overcome the situation, the Sturmgeschutz crews had this ideal, and the high command used them at full capacity on all major fronts. The Sturmgeschutz volunteers joined with the full knowledge, that the Sturmgeschutz crews incurred the highest death tolls, for them; the Sturmgeschutz tank arm was, despite all the deaths, The birth of Europe. In the name of the people and the nation, they honored them with a small symbolic gift, it was to honor them with what was the most important aspect of their lives and their history, it created a new chivalry, those who earned the order of the Ritterkreuz, meaning the cross of the knights, were indeed the New Knights! They earned this nobility of courage, right to the end they knew they had to do the impossible to stop the enemy, they had faith and stood firm to the extreme limit, to face danger with determination, all their fears broken by sheer armored fighting guts and fearless energy and spirits. The consent of the battlefield order is not only this; there is consent of the heart and the mind of men! Greatness in adversity was the distinction of the Sturmgeschutz, such high motivation made the Sturmgeschutz crews the best fighters in the world.
