Jagdpanzer IV/48 – Stored in a military area in Yambol (Bulgaria)

This tank is a very early L/48 one, and the only one with a drivers MG slot, in this case covered with a flat steel disc. This disc was only

mounted in the period between the decision to drop the slot and the time the steel works began to make front hulls without it. It was

previously part of a defensive line on the Bulgarian border : http://www66.tok2.com/home2/tankguy/bulgaria/bulugaria.html

The recovery of the tanks was ordered by the Defense minister in February 2008 and it will be either preserved in a Bulgarian

museum, or offered to private collectors in a future auction. The tank was recovered with its tracks and they are stored beside the tank
