SU-76, or as it was called among the Soviet troops in WW II - "Suka"
(Bitch), was light SPG armed with ZIS-3 76,2-mm gun on T-70 Lt. Tank
chassis.

I can't remember now were you can find more info, but, IIRC, if you'll
go to http://www.history.enjoy.ru (Russian Military Zone) and search
there or through their "Links" page, you'll surely find something.
