Historical Information

The German Jagdpanzer IV L/70 tank destroyer was used by the Wehrmacht primarily during 1944–1945, in the final phase of World War II. It was developed in response to the need for more effective anti-tank capabilities as well as the growing frequency of confrontations with well-armored Allied tanks. The extensively used side skirts (schürzen) protected the vehicle against shaped charges and armor-piercing projectiles. The Jagdpanzer IV L/70 fought on the Eastern Front, the Western Front, and in Italy, where its low silhouette and powerful armament posed a considerable threat to Allied armored units.
