For armored warfare buffs: the Hetzer

Inside the Tanks: The Hetzer - World of Tanks  "We are back with the second episode of the Inside the Tanks, filmed at The Deutsches Panzermuseum, Munster.

"The Jagdpanzer 38(t), better known as Hetzer was a German light tank destroyer of the Second World War based on a modified Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassi. The project was inspired by the Romanian "Mareşal" tank destroyer.

More on the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer  "It was first known as "Leichtes Sturmgeschutz 38(t)", then "Jagdpanzer 38(t) für 7.5cm Pak 39 L/48", and finally "Jagdpanzer 38 Hetzer". It appears that the name Hetzer was not an official name but used by troops and then used in post-war publications. "


Still hull-down after all these years.
