Historical Information

The Nashorn (“rhinoceros”) is a German tank destroyer (Sd.Kfz. 164) introduced into Wehrmacht service in 1943. Armed with the powerful 8.8 cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun, the Nashorn was exceptionally effective at combating Soviet and Allied tanks on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. It became particularly renowned during the Battle of Kursk and in later operations across Europe. Used until the end of the war, it was a significant asset of German anti-tank weaponry from 1943 to 1945.
