Hummel Walkaround - Saumur Tank Museum.
The Hummel was a self-propelled artillery gun used by Germany in WWII.
It was based on the Geschutzwagen III/IV. chassis and armed with a 15 cm howitzer.
The Geschutzwagen III/IV. had elements of both, driving and steering system of a Panzer III and a modified chassis, suspension and engine from a Panzer IV.
The same chassis was also used for the Nashorn tank destroyer.
It was produced from early 1943 until the end of war.
The Hummel was designed and developed in 1942
after the need for
mobile artillery support for tank forces.
The first design had a 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer on a Panzer III chassis, but it was rejected
in favor of mounting a 15 cm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer
on the specially designed Geschützwagen III/IV.
This Hummel with tactical number 6313 was made at the Deutsche Eisenwerke AG, Duisburg, Regierungsbezirk Dusseldorf,
North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
It was sent to Normandy and was knocked out at Nouans, France near the farm, Les Noyers, on 10 August, 1944.
The German defensive position was disbanded by artillery fire from the 2nd French Armored Division.
This Hummel was knocked out by tanks of the 5th US Armored Division.
The Hummel was shipped to Saumur after the war.
It was restored with the wrong tactical number and they added the wire mesh
on to the camouflage, because they copied the camouflage straight from the pictures.
