Jagdpanzer IV at the Deutsches Panzermuseum. Jagdpanzer (JgPz) is the name given in German to an armored, tracked tank destroyer, although it may also be used for other kinds of self-propelled guns.
The Jagdpanzer IV / Sd.Kfz. 162, was a German tank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis and built in three main variants. As one of the casemate-style turretless Jagdpanzer (tank destroyer, literally "hunting tank") designs, it was developed against the wishes of Heinz Guderian, the inspector general of the Panzertruppen, as a replacement for the Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III).
The Jagdpanther (German: "hunting Panther"), Sd.Kfz. 173, was a tank destroyer (Jagdpanzer, a self-propelled anti-tank gun) built by Germany during World War II.The Jagdpanther combined the 8.8 cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun, similar to the main gun of the Tiger II, with the armor and suspension of the Panther chassis.
Jag Panzer sought to tackle more ambitious territory for their next album, 2000's Thane to the Throne, a concept album about William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Mechanized Warfare was released in 2001, before the band released a double album in 2003 that featured previously unreleased tracks as well as songs from their first LP.
The Jagdtiger was a logical extension of the creation of Jagdpanzer designs from tank designs, such as the Jagdpanzer IV or the Jagdpanther from the Panzer IV and Panther tanks respectively, with a fully armored and enclosed casemate-style fighting compartment.
Kanonenjagdpanzer 1-3. The first prototypes of the Kanonenjagdpanzer were built in 1960 by Hanomag and Henschel for West Germany and by Mowag for Switzerland, [1] based on the experience of the Wehrmacht in the Second World War, the Kanonenjagdpanzer being a development of the Jagdpanzer IV. [2]
Jaguar 1. The Bundeswehr first operationally deployed the Raketenjagdpanzer 2 in 1967. From 1968 forward, the tank destroyer companies of the Panzergrenadier (armored infantry) brigades were equipped with eight of these vehicles. At the same time, tank destroyer companies of the Panzer brigades received thirteen Raketenjagdpanzer 2.
The name Hetzer (German for "chaser") was never an official or suggestive name used for this vehicle. It was the designation for a related prototype, the E-10.The Škoda factory for a very short period confused the two names in its documentation and the very first unit equipped with the vehicle thus for a few weeks applied the incorrect name until matters were clarified.
