Historical information about Panzer IV/70(A) (Sd.Kfz. 162/1)

The Panzer IV/70(A) (Sd.Kfz. 162/1) was one of the last German self-propelled tank destroyers built on the popular Panzer IV chassis. Produced in the final period of World War II from autumn 1944, this vehicle was adapted to mount the powerful 75mm Pak 42 L/70 cannon. The characteristic feature of version "A" were vertically set armor plates and a simplified construction, resulting from an accelerated production process by the Alkett company. The Panzer IV/70(A) took part in battles on both the Western and Eastern Fronts, including the Battle of the Ardennes and Soviet offensives on Polish and German territory.
