Strange Hetzer .... only 1 return roller .... maybe an early model?

Previously unknown KfShed 66 late model Hetzer...

(Seriously though... single return roller indicates late chassis, as does round hole idler, rather than keyhole style)

As for superstructure... the less said the better!

I thought the 4 hole return rollers where used only by the swiss army!!!! The last return roller design from the WH was the one with more than 4 holes .....

This not quite finished (!) Hetzer was driven out of the Skoda factory by partisans during the 1945 Prague uprising and you can clearly see the 4-hole idler, rather than the more common 6-hole 'round' style.

I would imagine that as this is the dying days of the war this became the default style for the postwar G-13s?

Can't see any return rollers under the side skirts but would expect to only find one! (Saving valuable materials and all that)

So four holes did exist... just not very common!

(Takes anorak off)
