Sd Kfz 1763 Jagdpanther

The Jagdpanther design was based on the Panther. After removing the turret, the glacis and sides were extended to provide a roomy casemate housing the 88mm Pak43 (L/71) gun in a saukopf mantlet with a single 7.92mm MG34 in a coaxial hull mount. Production started in January 1944 and continued until March 1945. Jagdpanthers served on both the Eastern and Western front from June 1944 onwards. The largest deployment occurred during the Ardennes offensive in December 1944.
