Title: German Tank Destroyers
Post by: Terrible Tim on 20 February 2015, 08:05:31 AM

Here is a picture of all my current German tank destroyers (yes, I have more on my shopping list).
 
What do you think? I think they look like a nice little family.

I have individual posts on my blog if you want a closer look.

Beautifully painted! Of course the pedant within says that at least two of them aren't tank destroyers per se but assault guns. Different tactical use and organisation.

True but the StuG did get used in the tank destroyer role making up one company of many infantry division anti tank battalions. Also used in Independent Panzerjager units alongside the Jagdpanther.

Regardless of all that great paint jobs
