Forces of valor -unimax 1:32 - Model military vehicle (3)

This armored vehicle was captured by the English during the Normandy battle. The English suffered heavily during the landing, losing many armored vehicles, and whenever possible, they captured enemy armored vehicles that were operational and armed. They roughly painted the flag to warn the Allies and aviation that the vehicle was theirs. When ammunition or gasoline ran out, they were destroyed. (Memories of armored vehicles in WW2) The Jagdpanzer followed the Panzerjäger projects ('tank hunter'), which were more lightly armored, equipped with an anti-tank gun mounted on a tank chassis with additional armor installed around the gun crew.

Tactical use
On the battlefield, when the Germans had to retreat, their retreat line preferably passed through the location of their anti-tank units, which used their superior firepower to hold back the enemy, perhaps even opening the possibility of a counterattack. Due to the lack of a turret and the armor concentrated at the front, the ideal combat situation for Jagdpanzer units was a planned ambush, and the skill of the commander of such units lay in choosing and properly preparing these locations long before they were needed.

The chassis of the King Tiger also served as the basis for the anti-tank vehicle Jagdpanzer without a turret, Jagdtiger.
