Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer – Bruce Crompton Collection (UK) – running condition

It was knocked out on April 13th 1945 by the 7th Btn, Hampshire Rgt. during the battle for the town of Cloppenburg (near Bremen),

with a direct hit from an anti-tank gun on the left side, near the front (probably killing the driver). The shrapnel damage can still be seen

on the inside. After the war it was bulldozered in a bombcrater until it was discovered and recovered during roadworks in 1982. Mr.

Crompton bought it from the previous German owner about 10-12 years ago, it was poorly restored then and not in running condition

This vehicle was not recovered from the Vilseck barracks, as stated before (Bruce Crompton via “earlymb”)

Fahrgestell number 323910, built by Skoda (Rene Martinez)

Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer or ST-I variant?

Kevin Wheatcroft Collection (UK) – running c.

This tank looks like a late Hetzer from BMM (Alex Pankov)

Pierre-Olivier Buan, April 2008

Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer (??) – ASPHM Association, La Wantzenau (France) – running c.

Fahrgestell number 323240, built by Skoda (ASPHM association). According to its owner, this vehicle has a petrol engine instead of a

diesel one, which probably makes it an original Jagdpanzer 38(t), but more pictures are necessary to correctly identify the model (Alex

Pankov). It was previously part of the “Provence 44” association
