StuG.III Ausf. G (Sd.Kfz. 142/1) knocked out 300 meters north of Hotel de Ville in Sainte-Mère-Église by M4 tanks of Co.C 746th Tank Battalion supporting 82nd Airborne Division on D-Day +1(should be familiar to the brothers in the band crowd). The StuG most likely belong to the Pz.Jg.Abt.709/709.Infanterie-Division. It has received a significant amount of hits blowing the roof off the superstructure and the front off the mantlet among other things, but did they specifically target the muzzle break?
