Hummel (German)

Description

The “Hummel” (Bumblebee) was a German SPG produced in 1943 and used for the remainder of World War II. Operation Barbarossa had shown that existing SPGs were not always adequate and so a new type was designed. Mounting a 15cm sFH howitzer on a heavily modified PzIV chassis, with an open superstructure, it was an effective support vehicle, though lack of stowage meant it required a separate ammunition carrier. The same modified PzIV chassis was used for the Nashorn tank destroyer.

Over 700 were produced in total.
