Historical Background

The Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer was one of the most widely used tank destroyers of the Wehrmacht towards the end of World War II. Vehicles of this series entered service from 1944 and took part in fighting on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, used among other things in Germany’s defensive operations, as well as in combat in Czechoslovakia and Hungary. The Hetzer was distinguished by its low profile, which made it harder to detect by the enemy, as well as by its good armament in the form of a 75 mm gun.
