68 COMPANY OFFICER'S HANDBOOK Figure 55.-Eight-wheeled armored car has been (with captured 75-mm short.barreled and reconditioned tank gun). by U.S. troops.) (<strong>The</strong> car L.T.H. (Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t)), a light tank with Christie-type wheels, have frequently been used for this purpose. Antitank and assault guns in particular are given greater mobility by the self-propelled mount. It is <strong>German</strong> tactical policy to avoid using tanks against tanks, but to use antitank guns against tanks, developing such self-propelled weapons as the Ferdinand for this purpose. Among common types of self-propelled guns are the 8 8-mm antitank guns (the Hornet (Hornisse) on a Pz.Kpfw. IV chassis and the Ferdinand on a Tiger chassis); the assault gun ( 7 5-mm long-barreled or short-barreled gun or 105-mm howitzer on a Pz.Kpfw. III chassis); the 105-mm howitzer on a Pz.Kpfw. II chassis, the Wasp (Wespe); the 150-mm howitzer on a Pz.Kpfw. IV chassis, the Bee (Hummel); and the 20-mm dual-purpose gun (either single- or four-barreled), which is frequently mounted on a half-track vehicle. Antitank and assault guns are not mounted in revolving turrets and usually can fire forward only. (See figs. 56 and 57.)
