Description
The Hummel and Nashorn: German Self-Propelled Artillery in World War II The Hummel and Nashorn are two of the most iconic self-propelled artillery pieces of Nazi Germany's military arsenal. The Hummel, with its heavy field howitzer, played a crucial role in heavy field artillery despite its open-top fighting compartment. The Nashorn, also known as the Hornisse, mounted the formidable 88 mm antitank gun, making it one of the most feared pieces of antitank artillery. This book explores the development and use of these vehicles from concept to combat, featuring dozens of archival photos and detailed photographs of surviving vehicles. Through these images, the history of these iconic armored fighting vehicles is brought to life, shedding light on their design, deployment, and operational history.
