Sturmpanzer IV fuer 15 cm (Sd.Kfz. 166)

[jrwsdev]

In the battalion organization for Sep 1944 for Sturmpanzers the Gruppe Fuehrer is listed as having 3 Sturmpanzer IVs as Panzerbefehlswagen according to "Panzer Truppen 2" by Thomas Jentz. I know Pz IIIs, Pz IVs, Pz Vs and Pz VIs had specific versions as Panzerbefehlswagen where additional radios were added and they carried less ammo or even had dummy main guns (early Pz III). Additional antennas were typically mounted. For the Sturmpanzer IV I cannot find any infomation like this. Were vehicles assigned to the HQ modified in any way with additional radios or were they just standard vehicles filling the role?

Thanks
