The Jagdpanther was a tank destroyer built by Nazi Germany during World War II based on the chassis of the Panther tank. The model shown here is in the Imperial War Museum in London.

A heavy tank destroyer design based on the 8.8 cm Pak 43 gun and the Panther tank chassis was ordered in late 1942. Production started in January 1944; in February Hitler specified the name.

415 Jagdpanthers were produced from January 1944 by three manufacturers. MIAG produced 270 from Jan 1944 until the end. MNH(Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen-Hannover) produced 112 from November 1944. MBA(Maschinenbau und Bahnbedarf) also produced 37 vehicles from December 1944. They equipped heavy antitank battalions and served mainly on the Eastern Front, although significant numbers were concentrated in the west for the Ardennes Offensive. They were first encountered in the west in very small numbers late in the Battle of Normandy, where the German 654th schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung ("Heavy Antitank Battalion") deployed about 12 Jagdpanthers against British units.

POLSKI
Niszczyciel czołgów Jagdpanther został opracowany w zakładach Kruppa (prowadzących wcześniej prace nad niszczycielem czołgów na podwoziu PzKpfw V) i Daimler-Benz zgodnie z zamówieniem z sierpnia 1943 roku na samobieżne działo przeciwpancerne. Uzbrojenie wozu stanowić miał czołgowy wariant niemieckiej armaty przeciwpancernej PaK 43 kal. 88 mm - KwK 43. Była to broń, zdolna przebić z odległości 1000 m pancerz 193 mm nachylony pod kątem 60°. Opancerzenie przedziału bojowego miało wynosić 40-80 mm, potem jednak wydano polecenie pogrubienia pancerza czołowego do 100 mm.


DEUTSCH
Gegen Ende 1942 erkannte das deutsche Heereswaffenamt, dass das bisherige Vorgehen bei der Entwicklung von Sturmgeschützen oder Panzerjägern, die entsprechenden panzerbrechenden Waffen auf vorhandene, teilweise jedoch bereits veraltete Fahrgestelle zu montieren, nicht weitergeführt werden konnte. Die beste damals verfügbare Panzerabwehrkanone, die 8,8-cm-PaK 43/3 L/71, war zu groß und zu schwer für Panzerkampfwagen III- und Panzerkampfwagen IV-Fahrgestelle; es wurde daher entschieden, das Chassis des damals gerade fertig entwickelten Panzerkampfwagen V Panther für den Bau eines neuen Jagdpanzers zu verwenden. Mit der Entwicklungsarbeit wurde die Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen-Hannover (MNH) beauftragt. Der Prototyp des Jagdpanthers wurde am 20. Oktober 1943 vorgeführt. Durch die Verwendung des Panther-Fahrwerks und die damit mögliche Einbaulage ergab sich eine Feuerhöhe der Kanone von lediglich 196 cm. Die Serienproduktion des Jagdpanzers begann ab Januar 1944 bei der MIAG in Braunschweig. Gegen Ende 1944 lief auch eine zusätzliche Serienproduktion bei der Maschinenfabrik-Niedersachsen-Hannover MNH in Hannover an. Beide Firmen produzierten bis zum März 1945 insgesamt 382 Jagdpanther (Fahrgestell-Nr.: 300001300392).

Русский
Ягдпантера, тяжёлая по массе немецкая самоходно-артиллерийская установка (САУ) класса истребителей танков времён Второй мировой войны.

«Ягдпантера» сконструирована на базе танка «Пантера» Pz Kpfw V Ausf G и имеет компоновку, близкую к компоновке советской САУ СУ-85 (низкий корпус совершенной конфигурации). Для тяжёлой машины «Ягдпантера» обладала хорошей скоростью и проходимостью. С другой стороны, самоходка унаследовала от базовой машины ряд недостатков, в первую очередь невысокую механическую надёжность и относительно тонкую бортовую броню.

ITALIANO
Fu progettato nel 1943 e presentato nello stesso anno ad Hitler con il nome di Panzerjäger V. Venne poi ribattezzato in Jagdpanther nel febbraio 1944 per ordine di Hitler stesso. La sua produzione iniziò nel febbraio 1944 e si protrasse sino all'aprile 1945 con il 382esimo esemplare prodotto.

ESPAŃOL
A finales de 1942 se ordenó el diseño de un cazacarros pesado basado en el cañón PaK 43 de 88 mm y en el chasis del tanque Panther, con el nombre de SdKfz 173. La producción comenzó a principios de 1944, al mismo tiempo que Hitler especificaba el nombre Jagdpanther (pantera cazadora).

This Jagdpanther happens to be an early production of the Jagdpanther series! :D

@HeirofGojira91 This individual was knocked out in Belgium in September 1944.

[HeirofGojira91]

@alanheath Oh - perhaps I was wrong - because looking at this Jagdpanther - it has the one piece KwK 43 88mm gun, small bolted mantlet and rear engine mufflers that of a Panther Ausf A/D chassis whilst late Jagdpanthers a 2 piece gun barrel, single monobloc vision slot, different engine mufflers and the larger bolted on mantlet...

[alanheath]

@HeirofGojira91 No, you may be right. It was lost in Belgium but it may have been there for some time! I don't know when it was manufactured.

I seen to recall that this particular vehicle was stopped in its tracks by someone who was or is now in the House of Lords.I forget his name but I think there is a plaque there giving details about how it came to be in an exhibit.The other exhibit that sticks out in my mind is the German mini submarine.Apparently the guy who was piloting died of carbon monoxide poisoning having forgotten tot turn on the exhaust mechanism!

That was gripping, Alan. Thanks, again.

@HeirofGojira91 I think at the beginning of the war he was in a tank but he spent two years in Stugs. He then used his Tiger as though it was a Stug by keeping the turret still and moving the tracks.

[HeirofGojira91]

@alanheath Wittmann began the war in a Stug III didn't he? And yes for assault guns or 'tanks' with no turret - a tactical weakness is the limited traverse plus the need to reposit the entire vehicle to gain a target zero in.

[mumugamer2006]

its spelled (english way) like "JagdPanta" not Jagdpanfer 0:05 ;)

[conijoo]
