Product Description
- The 49th edition of Nuts and Bolts, a photo collection that provides in-depth coverage of a single vehicle based on interviews with experts and researchers, features the Sd.Kfz.138/2 Jagdpanzer 38 (unofficially known as the Hetzer), a German light tank destroyer that appeared at the end of WWII, and its derivatives.
- The 38 Hetzer tank destroyer was developed as an advanced version of the Czechoslovakian 38(t) light tank, and was a light tank destroyer that was small, lightweight, and highly combat-effective.
- Production began in April 1944, and although it was only produced for about a year until the end of the war, it performed better than expected and continued to be in service after WWII, being used by the Czechoslovakian Army as the ST-I and by the Swiss Army as the G-13.
This book is written by Dr. Nikolaus Hettler, author of a book on German military half-tracks, and provides a comprehensive account of the development and improvement of the Hetzer tank destroyer, its technical details, its organization and use by the German army during the war, and its various derivatives up to the Swiss Army G-13, which was used until the 1970s. It uses a wealth of up-to-date research and includes rare battlefield photographs of undamaged, operational vehicles from the time, detailed photographs of existing vehicles, and numerous drawings and illustrations.
- A long-awaited guidebook to one of the most popular vehicles among the German WWII AFVs.
- This is a must-have addition to any collection, not just for modelers who build 1/35 Tamiya/Takom/Thunder Models/Dragon kits, or researchers of German AFVs.
