Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer" (Light tank destroyer)

A Jagdpanzer 38(t) that was converted to a crane after the war, Czechoslovakia, 1950.
This is the "ST-I" version, a Czech variant of the Hetzer built after the war, and was made by a factory that produced those tanks after they were taken out of service for use at that factory.

You read that the Nazi’s sent Tiger plans to the Japanese during the war. I think the Japanese would have been better served getting the plans for the Hetzer, especially if they could have gotten comparable gun performance. If they had Hetzer’s in numbers the Pacific War would have been a hell of a lot tougher than it was.
