[Big scale tank destroyer of the best during World War II]
--In the summer of 1942, the German army decided to develop a heavy tank destroyer using the chassis of the Panther tank.
――This is the Jagdpanther, which was later said to be one of the best ground warfare weapons developed during World War II.
--The main gun is the strongest 71 caliber 8.8 cm gun at that time. The armor was 80mm on the front and 50mm on the side, and it was tilted greatly to enhance the sloped armor.
--The engine is equipped with a 700 horsepower Maybach HL230P30 and delivers a maximum speed of 55km / h.
――It has become a defensive weapon for anti-tanks with a good balance of firepower, defense, and mobility.
--In June 1944, eight tanks deployed in the 654th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion made their first sortie in Normandy, and in Ardenne, 52 tanks of the five Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion destroyed many Allied tanks. Recorded a spectacular battle result.
