the Jagdpanzer 38(t), was based on the PzKfw 38(t) – itself a highly versatile Czech design. The new vehicle used a slightly altered suspension mounted on a widened hull, and was powered by a 160hp gasoline engine. It had a secondary machine gun mounted on top of the hull that could be fired remotely from inside the vehicle. Unlike the earlier Marders, the crew was completely enclosed – if cramped – in the fighting compartment behind well-sloped armor plate that was 60mm thick at the front.
