Nashorn

Nashorn (German: [ˈnaːsˌhɔɐ̯n], rhinoceros in English), initially known as Hornisse (German for hornet), was a German Panzerjäger (tank hunter) of World War II. It was developed as a stop-gap in 1942 by equipping a light turretless chassis based on the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks with the 8.8 cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun. Though only lightly armoured and displaying a high profile, it could penetrate the front armour of any Allied tank at long range, and its relatively low cost and superior mobility to heavier vehicles ensured it remained in production until the war's end.
