During WW2, the Germans mounted the powerful 8.8cm PaK43 on a self-propelled mount based on the Panzer III/IV chassis. The tank destroyer was officially designated the 8.8cm PaK43 (L/71) auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen III/IV (Sf), but the Panzerjäger was nicknamed the Hornisse (hornet) and the Nashorn (rhinoceros). The Panzerjäger Hornisse/Nashorn was issued to the schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilungen (heavy antitank battalions) 88, 93, 519 525, 560 and 655.

I like these – long, lean look with the 88mm hanging so far off the front.
