Panzerjäger
''Panzerjäger'' (German "armour-hunters" or "tank-hunters", abbreviated to ''Pz.Jg.'' in German) was a branch of service of the Wehrmacht during the Second World War which were the anti-tank arm-of-service who operated anti-tank artillery, and made exclusive use of the tank destroyers which were also named ''Panzerjäger''. They wore ordinary field-gray uniforms rather than the black of the Panzer troops; those ''Panzerjäger'' troops who crewed the tank-destroyers however wore the Panzer jacket in field gray.
==Development==
From 1940 the ''Panzerjäger'' troops were equipped with vehicles produced by mounting an existing anti-tank gun complete with the gun shield on a tracked chassis to allow higher mobility.
Development of the ''Panzerjäger'' designs begun before the war with the ''Sturmgeschütz''-designated armored vehicles, the initial German turretless tanks to use completely closed-in armored casemates, and continued until 1944, resulting in such casemate-design vehicles as the ''Jagdpanzer'' ("Hunting tanks"), purpose-built heavy-gun tank destroyers. These usually used upward extensions of both the glacis plate and hull sides to comprise three sides of their closed-in casemates. ''Panzerjäger'' continued to serve as a separate branch of the ''Heer'' until the end of the war, often replacing tanks due to production shortages.
Initially chassis of captured light tanks were used after turrets were removed, providing a cost-effective solution to German shortage of mobile anti-tank weapons in infantry divisions. Despite the shortcomings of light armour and high silhouette they were successfully used in their intended role.
