Klappentext The Jagdpanzer 38 is one of the best known German armoured fighting vehicles from World War II. Rushed into series production in the record time of less than four months, it was instantly recognisable by the sleek appearance created by its well-sloped armour. Many experts in post-war armour hold the opinion that this tank destroyer was just the answer to Germany's problem of dealing with the numerically superior American M4 Medium tank (known to the British Army as the Sherman) and the Russian T-34. Zusammenfassung This title takes a close look at the Jagdpanzer 28 "Hetzer" - one of the most successful of Germany's late-war assault guns. It features an annotated cutaway as its centre piece, this title covers the technical details of the jagdpanzer and its variants.
