Def: The Jagd.D.W.2 was part of the Neuer Durchbruch Jager program in 1943. It was intended to get an assault tank armed with the L/48 75 mm gun onto the battlefield. The first choice of tank to mount a new armored casement was the D.W.2, but after the tank was cancelled they then chose the Panzer IV, and after strengthening the chassis to compensate for the extra weight, a prototype was built, and after testing it was accepted into production. The tank was first deployed against the Allied forces on July 8th, 1944. The tank performed well with it's thick frontal armor being able to withstand most Allied shells, and be able to destroy most Allied tank, but after the tank was then deployed against the Soviets it was then decided to give the tank a longer range by mounting the L/70 75 mm gun, and in early 1945 a prototype was but, but the war ended before the tank could enter production.
