Product Description

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 its sleek appearance created by 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.

Customer Reviews

One of Osprey's best
A fine book on the Hetzer, the photo's are (mostly) new additions to the otherwise rather limited library used in other publications. A great advantage is that the book is obsessively about the Jagdpanzer 38t, no stuff about the tank, the Marders, the SIG 33's or any of the others, just the Hetzer. A strange omission however is that there is no mention of the flamethrower version.
Very well recommended.
