Historical information

The Nashorn, also previously known as Hornisse, was a German self-propelled gun developed during World War II, primarily intended for destroying heavily armored targets. Used by the Wehrmacht from 1943 until the end of the war, it played a significant role on both the Eastern and Western fronts, where its powerful 8.8cm Pak 43/1 L/71 gun effectively destroyed Allied tanks such as the Soviet T-34 and American Sherman. Nashorn units were actively deployed in the Battle of Kursk and during the fighting in Normandy.
