About this vehicle

An experimental tank destroyer. Based on the extended chassis of the VK 30.01 (H) tank, this vehicle featured a prototype 128-mm anti-tank gun. Only two vehicles were manufactured. They fought on the Southern Front from the summer through autumn of 1942. The trials demonstrated a number of problems, and the vehicle never saw mass production.
