Contrary to popular belief, it was not only initially conceived as Begleitartillerie (escort artillery) to accompany the infantry in the assault, but also as their prime means of mobile and protected defense against enemy tanks. Indeed, this is borne out by the original designation of the vehicle as the Pz.Sfl.III (s.PaK). In addition, its main armament, the 7.5cm Sturmkanone L/24 was a flat-trajectory gun, based upon that mounted on the Pz.Kpfw.IV medium tank; it was not a low-velocity howitzer.
