The German Jagd Panzer was a purpose designed tank killer that became one of the most potent armoured combat vehicles of World War 2. They included the Jagdpanzer IV, the Jagdpanther, the little Hetzer, the massive Jagdfiger and the unfortunate Ferdinand/Eletant. All were as heavily armed as could be arranged, were capable of destroying their prey at considerable ranges, and protected their crews under slope armour armoured carapaces. This title places the Panzerjager in their tactical context as well as being fully descriptive. With interest in all forms of military equipment from World War 2 increasing; this series from Ian Allan Publishing comes at an appropriate time. It will be much sought after historians, modellers and wargamers alike.
