Panzer Tracts No. 9-2 Jagdpanzer IV
The Jagdpanzer IV, a German tank destroyer, was developed during World War II to counter Allied armored vehicles. It was based on the Panzer IV chassis, featuring a low-profile, heavily armored superstructure housing a powerful 75mm gun. Development began in 1943 in response to the effectiveness of Soviet tanks, leading to various iterations with upgrades to armor and armament. Despite facing challenges such as production delays and resource shortages, the Jagdpanzer IV became a significant asset for the German army, proving its effectiveness in defensive and ambush roles on the Eastern and Western fronts. Its design influenced subsequent tank destroyer development post-war.
The Panzer Tracts No.9-2: Jagdpanzer IV is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer. Written by Panzer gurus Thomas Jentz and Hilary Doyle, this book meticulously documents the development, production, and combat history of various versions of the Jagdpanzer IV.
Here are some key features of the book:
This book is a perfect complement to any Jagdpanzer IV build or as an addition to your armor reference library.
Highly Recommended for Beginner to Advanced builders.
