2: U.S. Army Ordnance Museum, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Harford County, Maryland, USA (Current location)


This was one of two Hetzers found by the US Army under construction in the factory in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, in May 1945. 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 The left side of its superstructure has been replaced by wire mesh so that the interior can be seen.
