Answer: Jagdtiger

The Jagdtiger was extremely large and was nearly too large for its gun which was an 128mm that could go through a house and knock out a tank on the other side!

The Hanomag was a halftrack capable of carrying men long distances and keeping them safe. If you answered Sdkfz 128, that is a Jagdtiger.

Answer: Schildkroete

The Schildkroete was a very intresting design just as the other tanks mentioned, except for the Terteulen Sdkfz 269, which I made up.

6. What vehicle had a 37 mm originally, but was upgunned to 50mm?

Answer: Tiger

The Tiger had 100 mm armor plate, which was thought until 1943 to make the tank unstoppable.

9. What part of the Hetzer had the gun?

Answer: Front right

The gun on a Hetzer was to the right, but the width of the vehicle was simply too small to have a man in the center so they put the man to the side and for more room the gun too.
