CREW COMPARTMENT

The Jagdpanzer 38 gun mount was fixed to the glacis plate. The gun was installed offcentre, to the right of the vehicle. This enabled the driver, gunner and loader‘s positions to be on the left side of the vehicle, in line, one behind the other. The commander sat on the right side of the vehicle, at the rear of the fighting compartment, directly behind the gun, with his hatch above him. He did not have access to an armoured cupola.

ABOVE: The Jagdpanzer 38 driver’s position was on the left-side of the gun. The gunner and loader sat immediately behind him
