30a SU-88(g):
This represents a PzJg III/IV Nashorn or Hornisse (German Vehicle Note 49). Captured in limited numbers, the use of the vehicle was irregular however 6 were employed in a separate self-propelled gun regiment of the 27th Army in March 1945.
† The vehicle is treated as unarmoured through the rear turret facing as indicated by "*T" on the counter.

31a SU-75B(g) & SU-75G(g):
Like the SU-76i(g)(Russian Vehicle Note 31), these are StuG III B and G (German Vehicle Note 33 & Note 34) captured but not altered to mount the Soviet 76mm gun. The vehicles were used in this way until ammunition ran low or they had time to rearm them.

31b 43M Zrinyi II(h):
This represents the Hungarian Zrinyi II Assault gun(Axis Minor Vehicle Note 13). Several were captured following the retreat from Galicia when they had to be abandoned due to lack of fuel.They were used in small numbers by a separate battalion in 5th Guards Tank Brigade equiped almost entirely with Hungarian vehicles.
