The Hetzer ('Baiter') was an effective adaptation of an obsolete tank, the Pz Kpfw 38(t), into a low silhouettte tank destroyer. Production began in mid-1944, with 2584 built by the end of the year. Armed with a 75mm L48 gun, the Hetzer was highly effective.
The Swiss army operated 158 of the type, designated as the G13 postwar.
