Yes all of them in Poland were decimated and out of some 600+ tanks the Germans captured something like 550 of them in France and used them to haul ammunition and similar duties. I believe at the end of the war you could even find some of them in Bulgaria. Somewhere I saw a video of Iranians using one for target practice back in the 80s.

History

Apparently, these vehicles were processed on the ground, as simple way to increase its firepower, as with 37mm cannon carriage, little could be done. There artwork, which can be seen to Marshal Rommel inspecting one of these assemblies, with air of concern, which is not surprising if we think that with this material obsolete, should confront the modern army ally 1944. The number of copies built rises to eleven, all framed in the Panzer Abteilung 205. From the observation of the few existing photos show that for these few copies were used both cars equipped with the short barrel length L/21 as L/33, unknown how many of them relate to one sort or another. For his part, Panzer Abteilung 205, was created in France on November 29, 1943. Comprising two companies car caught their troops amounted to 51 cars, all of French origin, 11 of them as we have already stated Hotchkiss rocket launchers. After the fighting in Normandy, was ordered the dissolution of this Panzer Abteilung, being used his staff to create, December 26, 1944, PanzerJäger Abteilung 14.
