After the bombing of the Alkett factory, BMM (formerly CKD) was supposed to produce Sturmgegeschütz III, but since the machines were not suitable for this, it was decided to produce a light tank destroyer based on the Panzer 38(t) chassis, which, like the Jagdpanzer IV, had a 7.5 cm Pak 39 was equipped. The advantages of this tank destroyer were its sloped armor, its small size, which made it ideal for ambushes, and its comparatively powerful cannon. Its disadvantages were its small size, which limited the crew's ability to move, the small range of rotation of the cannon and poor visibility, especially to the right side.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe main task was mobile anti-tank defense, for example to clean up intrusions by enemy tanks.
