Still existing Hetzer and G13 tanks
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hi folks,

I have been reading some German-Swiss sites about the G-13 and figured out following

After the collapse of Germany, Switzerland could acquire a number of vehicle's from the Skoda factory in Czechoslovakia

After some modifications these where delivered as Panzerjäger G-13 to the Swiss Armed Forces in 1947

Halfway 1946 Skoda offered the Swiss Army another 100 G-13 vehicle's, including armaments
This was Federal approved in october 1946 and the last vehicle's where delivered at the end of 1947

After this order there was an additional order for an extra 50 vehicle's of which the last one was delivered about 1949
This last batch was completly new and not build from left over war production

Based on the numbers given the first batch of vehicle's was only 8
(second order 100, last order 50 out of an total of 158)

Michel

Looks like its barrel's threaded for a muzzle brake, so I'd go for G13 at first guess.

- earlymb I think this one is on the list (bottom), ID's as a G-13? hello, all the tanks are ID-ed as G-13s, until someone can prove they are indeed original Jagdpanzer 38(t). P-O _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates

A G13 is for sale in Germany. I don't think it's on the Surviving Tanks list. I've requested the former Swiss M+ Number and/or Chassis Number. 74295.homepagemodules....zer-G.html _________________ www.wheelsandtracks.com and my pics on flickr

www.ebay.com./itm/1944...3359221697 Looks like a Swiss G13 to me (red grease nippels on the front drive housing). Hefty price considering these were given nearly free to museums. _________________ www.wheelsandtracks.com and my pics on flickr
