Sd Kfz 124 Wespe

The second of the Panzers, the Pz Kpfw II was designed in the early 1930s. It saw extensive service at the outbreak of WW2 during the Blitzkrieg but by the middle of WWII was obsolete as a front line tank. The Sd kfz 124 Wespe was created by converting from old Panzer II chassis, the Germans needed artillery that could keep pace with the Panzer Divisions across the vast plains of Russia. Mounting the 105mm Howitzer, Wepses first saw action in operation Citadel near Kursk in 1943.
