Historical and Technical Information

The Nashorn, originally known as the Hornisse, was a German tank destroyer built on the chassis of the Panzer III and Panzer IV vehicles. Armed with the highly effective 8.8 cm Pak 43/1 anti-tank gun, the Nashorn earned recognition for its long firing range and powerful firepower—it could destroy Soviet and Allied tanks even from distances exceeding 2 km. The vehicle was mainly used by heavy tank destroyer divisions on the Eastern and Western fronts during the Second World War. Production of the Nashorn model lasted from 1942 to 1945, and the vehicle took part in, among others, the Battle of Kursk as well as defensive operations on German territory.
