Flamethrower self-propelled gun of the Third Reich-Flammpanzer 38(t).

The Hetzer or Jagdpanzer 38 is a German light self-propelled artillery installation (ACS) of the tank destroyer class. It was used during the Second World War. According to the German departmental system of designations of military equipment, it carried the index Sd.Kfz.138/2. It was developed by the Czechoslovak company BMM on the chassis of the PzKpfw 38(t) light tank in November 1943 - January 1944 as a cheaper and mass replacement for the StuG III assault guns, but later it was reclassified into a tank destroyer, intended primarily for manning anti-tank units of infantry and cavalry divisions.
Serial production of the Hetzer began in April 1944, and at least 2,827 self-propelled guns of this type were produced before the end of the war. The ACS was actively used by German troops at the final stage of the war, mainly on the Soviet-German front. 75 "Hetzer" in December 1944 - January 1945 was also transferred to Hungary. After the war, the production of "Hetzer" was resumed in Czechoslovakia, where self-propelled guns were produced for the needs of their own army under the designation ST-I / ST-III, as well as by order of Switzerland under the designation G-13. In total, from 1946 to the beginning of the 1950s, another 318 self-propelled guns were produced. Although the Hetzers were withdrawn from service in Czechoslovakia a few years after the end of production, they remained in service in Switzerland until 1972.

Как жаль, что Мы так мало ликвидировали немцев, слов нет!. Земля пухом и царство небесное всем советским воинам.

согласно определению слова "немец" - от слова немой, говорящий понятно,не по нашенски. Вы серьёзно предлагаете сегрегацию с геноцидом по лингвистическому признаку? Не будьте как "эллочка людоедка",изъясняйтесь яснее,а то вы сами стали как "немец".

The Jagdpanzer 38T didn't have very much protection for the crew, so it was considered an "armoured coffin". Given that the Flammpanzer 38(t) would have to get within 150m or less to attack the enemy, it certainly lacked sufficient protection from infantry anti-tank weapons. Perhaps it was considered an "armoured crematorium"?

Вооот, теперь чехи могут сказать, что создав хрупкий кожух, они так вредили боеспособности рейха.
