	Wespe - Psychology Central (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The Wespe (German for wasp) was a German self-propelled artillery vehicle developed and used during World War II.
		In 1940, during the Battle of France, it was apparent that the main tank of the German forces, the Panzer II, was unsuitable as a direct combat vehicle; though mechanically sound, it was both under-gunned and under-armoured.
		Thus, when the need arose for a self-propelled artillery vehicle, the Panzer II was a natural choice, removing the vehicles from frontline service and extending their useable lifespan.
