 Achtung Panzer! - Hetzer
In late 1943, before Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer entered production, BMW and Wesserhuette were awarded a contract to design a small tank destroyer - klein Panzerjaeger Rutscher (Sander) but the project was cancelled in February of 1944 after Hetzer was selected.
Eventually, Jagdpanzer 38(d) based on PzKpfw 38(d) armed with 75mm Pak 39 L/48 or 75mm PzJagK 42 L/70 was to be produced as a replacement for Hetzer.
Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer was cheap, fast, low and hard hitting and is considered to be one of the most successful tank destroyers of World War II.

 Jagdpanzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jagdpanzer (JgPz), German: "Hunting tank", is a name for German tank destroyers.
The Jagdpanzer designs followed on from the more lightly armoured Panzerjäger designs which took an anti-tank gun and mounted it on top of a tank chassis with supplementary armour fitted around the gun crew.
Without the complexity of the rotating turret, Jagdpanzer designs could be quickly produced which was important in supplying fighting vehicles to the Russian front.

One can imagine this Jagdpanzer Hetzer, with its sloping armor and vaulting drive sprockets, ranging over the battlefield, stiff-arming its opponents with its lethal 75mm gun until the odds against it simply became overwhelming.

As the factories were not equipped to produce so large a vehicle they responded by quickly designing a new light Sturmgeschuetz based on the Panzer 38t chassis, with a gun that was essentially a variant of that used in the Sturmgeschuetz - the Jagdpanzer 38t.
This book concentrates on the production life and combat experiences of the Jagdpanzer 38t, as well as the different modifications and variants created directly from the Jagdpanzer such as the Bergepanzer 38 and Jagdpanzer 38 Starr.
Many different colour schemes were employed during this period, and so close attention is paid to this in the colour illustrations.
