The German built Jagpanther tank destroyer entered production at the beginning of 1944 on the body of a Panther(tank)with an 88mm gun.The Jagpanther first saw action on the Eastern front and later in Normandy in July 1944(i think).It was very sucessful being able to make a fair speed while being able to destroy almost anything that could match it.It saw action in large numbers in the battle of the Bulge which was it's first and last major action of the war.Ten Jagpanthers still remain(3 operational and 7 in museums) out of only 415 that were built.
