Fotogalerie auf einem Nashorn, Le Nashorn (im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes Rhinozeros), der ursprünglich als Hornisse bezeichnet wurde, war ein deutscher Panzerjäger aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Er wurde 1942 als Zwischenlösung entwickelt und war mit der 88 mm starken Panzerabwehrkanone bewaffnet. Obwohl leicht gepanzert und mit einer hohen Silhouette, blieb er bis zum Ende des Krieges im Dienst und bewies, dass er ein ziemlich guter Panzerjäger war.

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.
