ERSATZ means “Replacement” in German. These Sturmgeschutz III were carefully and cleverly disguised to appear as a US M7 Medium Tank with utmost attention given to the details. This attempted deception took a large amount of work in order to imitate the appearance of the M7. The time, work, and materials involved as well as the technical research of the M7 required, definitely indicate fourth or fifth echelon modifications but it was believed that the work was done by German maintenance units rather than at a factory.
