The Jagdpanzer 38 was originally developed as an interim replacement for the Sturmgeschütz III, after the Alkett factory was bombed byt eh Allies.
Re-designated as a tank destroyer, it was a deadly threat to Allied tanks, thanks to its small size. It was, however, very cramped, and was thinly armoured on its sides and rear.
