Historical Information

The Jagdpanther Ausf. G1 is a German tank destroyer based on the Panther tank chassis. It was used between 1944 and 1945, mainly on the Western and Eastern Fronts during World War II. Its distinctive side armor skirts (Schürzen) protected the tracks and the lower hull from shaped-charge ammunition and shrapnel. Schurzen were among the solutions developed to provide greater survivability for armored vehicles against infantry anti-tank projectiles, especially in urban environments and during operations behind the front lines.
