They were completed by BMM and shipped to the USA for evaluation. This one is a late production model with four-hole idlers; however it has an early-production horizontal exhaust silencer. The left side of its superstructure has been replaced by wire mesh so that the interior can be seen. Text in Preserved German Tanks Update: This Hetzer was completed by Škoda in its factory in Pilsen. It was in the external display area for many years. It has recently been refurbished and is now displayed inside the museum building (source: N. Baumgardner). The wire mesh on its left side has been replaced by clear plastic and the crew positions are demonstrated by mannequins.
