Rollover : 7.5cm PaK39 main gun snug in mantle called Saukopfblende (Boar's Head Mount) or simply Saukopf (Pig's Head). Ballistic design prevented Shot Traps by deflecting enemy fire away from vehicle. Original 2-part gun barrel replaced with plastic tube styrene to provide a seamless gun barrel layout without sanding and buffing. Note, due to German-American linguistic influences, Sau is used in northern and central US vernacular, while rest of country use the term Pig.

10th SS Panzer Division was originally named KARL DER GROSSE (German for Charlemagne) in March 1943, but latter name was re-assigned to French volunteers in 33rd Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS in August 1943. Hence, it adoped new name FRUNDSBURG (also written as Frundsberg) in honor of Georg von Frundsberg : 15th-century German Knight who served the Hapsburg Dynasty in Holy Roman Empire and battled against the French, Swiss, Italian, and internal peasant uprisings.

Inset : Famed Hetzer, captured by Armia Krajowa (Polish Home Army) during August 1944 Warsaw Uprising and impressed into Polish service at Napoleon Square. Poles controlled major pockets within the city, hence armor were used in semi-static positions, various obstacles barricaded street entrances such as large cable spools and canisters piled next to Hetzer. It has been asserted that Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin deliberately withheld his forces from assisting the Poles (Soviet forces were only a few hundred meters from city center), thereby allowing Germans to crush the rebellion and destroy Warsaw infrastructure in retaliation. With the pro-Western Polish Home Army destroyed, Stalin installed a pro-Soviet puppet regime in its place. Warsaw Uprising - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_uprising
