What is "jagdpanzer"

Jagdpanzer (JgPz), German for "hunting tank", is a name given to German self-propelled anti-tank guns.

It typically refers to anti-tank variants of existing tank chassis with a well-armoured casemate fixed superstructure, mounting an anti-tank gun with limited traverse in the front, and usually classed by the western Allies of World War II as a tank destroyer.
