Inside a German WW2 Tank Destroyer with Historian James Holland January 30, 2023 Nicola WW2 Battle Tanks, WW2 German Tanks </p> <h2>‘Inside a German WW2 Tank Destroyer with Historian James Holland’</h2> <p> James Holland investigates the mighty ‘Jagdpanther’, a German tank destroyer of WWII.<br /> The German Jagdpanther armoured vehicle was proposed in October 1942 and Adolf Hitler inspected a prototype some fourteen months later. A total of 392 were produced by two manufacturers up to March 1945.<br /> The turreted Panther tank mounted a 75mm gun but, by eliminating the turret and adding a fixed superstructure it proved possible to mount a larger gun, the Tiger’s formidable 88mm. The Jagdpanther was also renowned for the exceptional use of sloped armour and it remains a modern, sleek looking design.<br /> Join Military and Second World War Historian James Holland as he analyses this unique and rare tank destroyer, getting inside the vehicle with Mike Gibb from the Weald Foundation.<br /> <br /> Credit to : History Hit</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here :
