Wespe historical reference
Self-propelled gun on the basis of the outdated Pz.Kpfw. II. The vehicle was designed as a mobile artillery unit for armored forces. The armored cabin with the modified 105 mm field howitzer was mounted on the middle and rear parts of the chassis. This SPG was a successful re-use of the outdated chassis. A total of 700 vehicles were built from 1943 through 1944.
