Historical description of the Nashorn vehicle

The self-propelled gun Nashorn (German for "rhinoceros") was based on the chassis of the PzKpfw III/IV. Armed with the famous 8.8 cm Pak 43/1 anti-tank gun, it was introduced into German Army service in 1943. The Nashorn was mainly used on the Eastern and Western Fronts to counter Soviet and Allied heavy tanks. The vehicle gained particular fame during the Battle of Kursk, where its powerful gun enabled it to effectively destroy the heaviest enemy vehicles from long distances.
