Product Description

--A variety of self-propelled guns based on light tank chassis that were used towards the end of World War II!

- The Panzer II and Panzer 38(t) tanks, which served as main battle tanks in the early stages of World War II, had little potential for development due to their small chassis, and their use as main battle tanks only ended in the middle of the war.
- However, the chassis was reused to mount large anti-tank guns, howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, etc., and was used until the end to supplement anti-tank forces.
- This book introduces the Marder III series of self-propelled anti-tank guns based on the 38(t) chassis, the Hetzer light tank destroyer, the Grille self-propelled howitzer, the anti-aircraft tank 38(t), the Marder II self-propelled anti-tank gun based on a Panzer II chassis, the Panzer II self-propelled heavy infantry gun, and the Wespe self-propelled howitzer, providing a detailed account of their development and production, as well as detailed photographs, drawings, and illustrations of actual vehicles currently in existence in museums overseas, including those currently undergoing restoration.
- Detailed explanations of differences depending on production period and interior design are provided with photos and illustrations.
