Jagdpanzer IV (with Zimmerit) Photos

(Tank destroyer)

The Jagdpanzer IV was a tank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis built in three main variants. The Jagdpanzer IV kept the basis chassis of the Panzer IV tank, but the original vertical front plate was replaced by a sharp edged nose. Internally, the layout was changed to accommodate the new superstructure, moving the fuel tanks and ammunition racks. Jagdpanzer IV was a great defensive weapon but was produced too late and in small quantity to have greater impact on the war situation.
