Hetzer Jagdpanzer 38(t)

At the Böhmisch-Mährische Maschinenfabrik (Prague) and Skoda (Königgrätz, modern-day Mladá Boleslav), the tank destroyer "Hetzer" appeared over the chassis of the armoured personnel carrier 38 (t). A modified chassis with a more efficient motor, more heavily slanted armour plating, broader tracks and heavier artillery (7.5 cm anti-tank cannon 39) made the "Hetzer" the most efficient German light armoured vehicle (Sd.Kfz.138/2).
