Jagdpanzer IV

Known as Guderian's Duck, The Sdkfz 162 was a conversion of a Panzer IV chassis with the High velocity 75mm gun mounted in a saukopf cast mantlet. The weight of the gun was such that the standard rubber tyre front wheels were replaced on later versions by steel rimmed wheels to reduce wear. The Jagdpanzer IV saw action in Normandy and throughout the last year of WWII through the low countries and into Germany itself. The low sillouette and effective cover made it ideal as an ambush predator.
