German? ...yes
Tank? ... technically, no

75mm/L70, only 278 built.

I posted it because I thought I'd seen all the Wehrmacht GV's. Apparently not.

jagdpanther had an 88 and the chassis of a panther

its profile is way to high for a jagdpanzer altought it has the same gun mantlet
i think from memory it was just called the panzer 4 L70 ironiclly enough

i think it was one of the first times a l70 was mated to a P4 chassis  in response to the heavier soviet tanks
but was replaced by the jagdpanzer due to many reasons including high profile and production costs and time

And no help from the Peanut Gallery please... :D

Here's some more info: Only 278 built.
I find it Jagdpanzer IV/70(A) was issued first in September of 1944. It was issued as regular tank to Panzer Abteilungs or as a replacement assault gun to Panzer and Stug Brigades. It was used as an anti-tank support vehicle for regular battle tanks. Most of the vehicles saw service on the Eastern Front. On April 10th of 1945, there were still 285 Jagdpanzer IV/70 in service with the German Army, 274 on the Eastern Front, 8 in Italy and 3 on the Western Front. After the war, approximately 6 Jagdpanzer IVs (L/48 and L/70) found their way to Syria. http://www.achtungpanzer.com/jagdpanzer-iv-sd-kfz-162-75mm-l48-1944.htm were i find it :D

Weel, hmmm... Good question???

Kind of an oddball for sure..

Its a panzer IV chassis, no question...

And it looks like a Brumbar upper hull...
With a w a A/P firing gun installed instead of the gigantic mortar...

And the gun (pighead) mantlet looks reminiscent of Hetzer, Jagdpanther, or Jagdtiger

My guess???  Is that it is a Brumbar, modified cuz they didn't have much use
for the big pintle mounted mortar late in the war...

RC

Guess I'm wrong, at least I took an honest guess!!!

As said before it's a Jagdpanzer IV/70 (A), also known as Panzer IV/70 (A). The A stands for Alkett, the manufacturer/developer. It was not called "Zwischenlösung" as it's often wrongly reported. The Jagdpanzer IV/70 (A) is basically a Jagdpanzer IV/70 (V) -V=VoMAG - superstructure bolted on top of a standard Panzer IV chassis thus the stepped armor and increased height.

Well Geez man!!! You didn't have to reiterate the answer...

Woooweeee, your a corker for sure, I'm so proud of you....
Your knowledge of some of the most trivial and inconsequential things in the world truly astounds me :lol....

I looked at the photo, and took an honest guess... Didn't bother reading the whole thread first...
That wouldn't have been an honest guess, would it???
