Description & Specifications

Until 1944, the German army was in a defensive position on all fronts and the Allied attacks were placing increasing pressure on the country's industrial production. From the early days of the war, the Germans experimented with mounting anti-tank guns on outdated vehicles, and one of the most successful of these was the Jagdpanzer 38, more commonly known today as the Hetzer. Despite its small appearance, the Hetzer was highly effective. Armed with the powerful 7.5cm L/48 gun, the same used in the Jadgpanzer IV, the Hetzer featured sloped armored plates up to 60mm thick and had a top speed of 42 kilometers per hour. Nearly 3,000 units were produced, and its low cost and ease of production made it the most important anti-tank weapon of Germany during the final stage of the war. In his latest book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses archival photographs and extensively researched color illustrations to examine the Hetzer tank destroyers and the units of the German army and Waffen-SS that used them during the last months of World War II. A central section of his book showcases available models and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of beautifully crafted and painted models in various scales. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also discussed, providing everything the modeler needs to accurately represent these historical tanks.
