The self-propelled Panzerjager I tank destroyer was built on the hull of
the Panzer I light tank and armed with an effective weapon of the
period, the 47mm Czechoslovakian anti-tank gun. The Panzer I tank had in
fact a protection and armament capability no longer in keeping with the
operational needs of the German armoured divisions. However, it had good
mobility and a robust chassis which was ideal for the positioning of the
anti-tank gun, which was sited behind an open steel shield. The
Panzerjager I was deployed by the Wehrmacht during the invasion of
France, in North Africa and in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa
in 1941. It held a goodammunition supply, with over 70 rounds available
for gunners. It was systematically replaced during the war bymore
heavily armored tank destroyers, better equipped to deal with modern
tank armor against which the 47 mm gun proved to be ineffective.
