Ersatz Jagdpanzer Spotted at Polish Market Garden

A "Jagdpanzer" based on a surplus Russian SU-100 was seen at reenactment of the battle of Armhem in Poznan, Poland.  A picture of this vehicle was posted on the Missing Lynx Axis Discussion Group.

Among many modifications for it's new role, the SU-100's driver hatch has been removed and good deal of sheet steel added to approximate the appearance of a Jagdpanzer IV. As a historical note, captured Soviet SU-85s were used in combat against Russian troops, but no evidence has surfaced to show that SU-100s were used by the Germans.

Additional pictures of "Warta 2005" and vehicle in question can be found on Polish web sites, the HORNER Portfolio and NaszeMiasto.pl.

Update

A recent book on Waffen SS Armor on the Eastern Front, "SS Armor on the Eastern Front 1943-45" by Velimir Vuksic, has a picture of a Captured SU-100 being used as fixed defensive strong point.
