Histoire: Le Jagdpanzer 38(t) (Sd.Kfz. 138/2), plus tard connu sous le nom de Hetzer (« poursuivant »), était un chasseur de chars léger allemand de la Seconde Guerre mondiale basé sur un châssis tchécoslovaque modifié de Panzer 38(t). Le projet a été inspiré par le « Mareşal | » tank destroyer. The name Hetzer was at the time not commonly used for this vehicle. It was the designation for a related prototype, the E-10. The Škoda factory for a very short period confused the two names in its documentation and the very first unit equipped with the vehicle thus for a few weeks applied the incorrect name until matters were cleared. However, there exists a memorandum from Heinz Guderian to Hitler claiming that an unofficial name, Hetzer, had spontaneously been coined by the troops. Post-war historians basing themselves on this statement made the name popular in their works, the vehicle was never named as such in official documents.
