Jagdpanzer Iv

Viac o knihe

The book explores the development of self-propelled guns, particularly the _Panzerjäger_, during World War II, highlighting their emergence in response to the challenges faced against the Soviet Union and in North Africa. It discusses the limitations of towed guns, particularly their lack of mobility and insufficient firepower compared to tanks. Despite being equipped with effective 75 mm or 76.2 mm guns, the _Panzerjäger_ offered minimal crew protection due to armor thickness of only up to 10 mm, emphasizing the trade-offs in design during wartime.
