Text in original Preserved German Tanks publication:

This Hummel saw service on the western front. It was captured by American troops in 1944 or 1945 and transported to the USA. In June 1976 it was donated to Kampftruppenschule 2 in Munster by the Patton Museum in Kentucky, USA, and returned to Germany. It was restored in 1981 and 1982 in Panzer Werkstatt 2 Hall 104, and it carries a plaque crediting the work to “Weber Worzischek, Fischer Lippert-Sonnenberg, Noroschat Cölton”. It is in running order and carries the name “Anton” on the gun. It has the early style driver’s compartment and idlers but has all-steel return rollers.

Text in Preserved German Tanks Update:

This Hummel was one of two Hummels that originally came to Fort Knox via Aberdeen Proving Ground; they were part of the original Patton Collection pieces that arrived in 1946 (source: D. Moriarty).
