Jagdpanzer (JgPz) is the name given in German to an armored, tracked tank destroyer, although it may also be used for other kinds of self-propelled guns. Translated from German, Jagdpanzer meaning "hunting tank".
It typically refers to anti-tank variants of existing tank chassis with a well-armored casemate superstructure that mount an anti-tank gun with limited traverse in the front.[1] These vehicles were classified by the western Allies of World War II as a tank destroyer.[2]
