Protecting the Homeland

Through the center stages of WWII, Allied tank designs revealed constant enhancement and showcased greater firepower and armor protection. Under these circumstances, the German military increasingly depended on turretless tank destroyers armed with a powerful gun on a limited-traverse mount. Among these ended up being the Hetzer, a compact tank destroyer on the basis of the Czech-made 38t tank framework that had 60mm sloped front armor and a 75mm primary gun. Entering service from July 1944, the Hetzer's low sihouette and effective armament managed to make it a decent adversary on both the Eastern and Western fronts. Just about 2,800 Hetzers of various variations was in fact produced, and they additionally served aided by the Czech and Swiss military after the conclusion of WWII.
