Historical model:
The Sd.Kfz.138/1, also known as the Geschützwagen 38 H equipped with the heavy infantry gun s.IG.33/1, was developed on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) light tank, which was seized by the Wehrmacht after the occupation of Czechoslovakia. Produced by the Czech company and then by the Germans from 1943–1945, this vehicle was widely used by German units during World War II—especially on the Eastern and Western fronts. It served as fire support for infantry, delivering mobility to the battlefield along with the powerful firepower of a 150 mm mortar.
