Hetzer Sd. Kfz. 1382

Also known as the Jagdpanzer 38 light self-propelled gun. Over its serial production, 3145 units were manufactured. 

The Jagdpanzer or "Tank Hunter" was developed by BMM in Czechoslovakia, based on the PzKpfw 38 (t) light tank. It was intended as a substitute for the more expensive StuG III assault gun. Production began in April 1944. 

The vehicle offered numerous technical and design solutions. It boasted a large thick hull of welded armor plates. The main tactical function of the Hetzer was the ambush, owing to its impressive maneuverability. After World War II, this Czechoslovakian gun kept its commission through the early 1950s, and in Switzerland it remained in service into the 1970s.
