About the Nashorn:
Named the “Rhinoceros” (“Nashorn” in German), this 24-ton tracked vehicle was designed in 1942 as a self-propelled anti-tank gun. It mounted the formidable 8.8cm PaK43 gun and served with independent Panzerjäger units. A total of 494 were produced, and they first saw action in the summer of 1943 on the Eastern Front.
