Panzerjäger: Hitler's Tank Destroyer

After the limited success of the Panzer I and II tanks against the enemy in the early years of the Second World War, the Germans soon realized that a new type of specific tank hunter had to be developed, as well as a new military arm to support them.

The Panzerjäger was the result. Starting from 1940 onwards, this famous and much feared branch of the German Wehrmacht focused primarily on anti-tank artillery and tank destroyers.
