Fotogalerie na Nashorn, The Nashorn (doslova Rhinoceros), původně označovaný jako Hornisse (sršeň v němčině) byl německý stíhač tanků z druhé světové války. Byl vyvinut jako mezilehlé řešení v roce 1942 a byl vyzbrojen výkonným 88mm protitankovým dělem. Přestože byl lehce obrněný a měl vysokou siluetu, zůstal ve službě až do konce války a prokázal, že je to poměrně dobrý stíhač tanků.

General Characteristics and Role
The Nashorn (German for “Rhinoceros”), initially known as the Hornisse (“Hornet”), was a German tank destroyer (Panzerjäger) developed during World War II. Its design philosophy focused on mounting the most powerful available anti-tank gun onto a reliable, if lightly armored, chassis to prioritize long-range engagement and superior firepower. It was based on a common chassis component (Geschützwagen III/IV), which combined parts from the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. The Nashorn excelled at destroying Allied tanks from long distances, but its open-topped fighting compartment and thin armor made it highly vulnerable to enemy infantry, artillery, and close-range combat. It served on both the Eastern and Western Fronts from mid-1943 until the end of the war.
