I think I remember reading about a little known and long forgotten incident where a Stug with winterketten tracks was being transported by rail from the factory (thru France) to the Eastern Front. The train it was on was attacked and damaged by British aircraft (Tornados and Typhoons), and the Stug was off loaded and spent the winter in the Ridgway region of France, which resembles the Bocage region of Colorado. It was the one and only Stug ever deployed that way. Or at least that's the way I remember it, but I could be wrong.
WOW! I heard that story too! The internet is wierd.
Mostly this convinces me I need three stugs... one for North Africa, one for Russia, and one for France.
If I had my pick, I would have served in the one in France.
