Unique ID: 68 Added to Database: May 2008 Last Edited: May 2008 Type (ID): Panzerbefehlswagen Jagdpanther (140) Model (ID): Panzerbefehlswagen Jagdpanther (275) Location Category (ID): Imperial War Museum (3200) Location (ID): Imperial War Museum (3200) Serial Number: Registration: Name: Other Identification: Collection Reference: Links: References: Associated Tanks: Location History: (see map) 1: Mühlenbau-Industrie AG (MIAG), Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany (July 1944) 2: Gifhorn, Germany (General area - destroyed April 1945) 3: Defence College of Management and Technology, Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, South East England, Britain (Until 1969) 4: Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridgeshire, East England, Britain (Until at least 1987) 5: Imperial War Museum, Lambeth, London, Britain (Current location) Text in original Preserved German Tanks publication: This command vehicle appears to have been knocked out by one shell fired into its engine compartment and another three into the fighting compartment, on the right hand side. It was acquired in 1969 from the RMCS at Shrivenham and was previously displayed at IWM Duxford. It is based on an early production Jagdpanther. Part of its left-hand superstructure has been cut away to display the interior. It has been restored to running order using parts of the engine from the Jagdpanther recovered from Purbright ranges (source: D. Goulty, R. Fleming). It had tactical number “01” and chassis number 300054. It was built by MIAG in July 1944 and was captured from sPzAbt 559 in 1944. The shells that knocked it out appear to have been 75mm or 76mm calibre. (Source: L. Archer). It belonged to a unit operating in northern Germany when it was knocked out in April 1945. The company commander was the renowned author Walter J. Spielberger, and photographs of this vehicle after capture have been published in a number of books (source: R. Fleming). Spielberger’s own Jagdpanther, number “123”, was knocked out nearby, and Spielberger wounded, on 16 April 1945 in the Gifhorn area. His vehicle was also hit on the right hand side by two rounds into the engine compartment causing the armour plate to crack open. Text in Preserved German Tanks Update: Corrections: it was captured in 1945 not 1944 as initially stated, and the range location is Pirbright.
