Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer

(Tank destroyer)

The Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer was a German tank destroyer of the World War II based on a modified pre-war Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis. The Jagdpanzer 38(t) was intended to be more cost-effective than the much more ambitious Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger designs of the same period. Using a proven chassis, it avoided the mechanical problems of the larger armoured vehicles.
