The Hetzer, was based on the captured Czech 38 light tank. To get more use out of the design, the Germans modified them into tank-destroyers.

Armed with a 3in Pak 39 L/48 anti-tank gun and a 7.92 MG42. Even during the last month of the war, about 120 Hetzer were delivered to the German army.
After WWII the Hetzer was used by the Czech
