    The late war Jagdpanzer 38(t) aka the Hetzer.

    Most translations of the name that I've seen
    call it "Hunter" but, this man is saying it's far
    more specific. He's talking persistence hunting
    where the hunter is not stronger or faster than
    the prey but out endures it.

    He insists that this endurance hunting works like
    a charm. Simple observations suggest otherwise.

    Seems pretty rare, actually.

    The Hetzer holds an odd place in history. Take,
    for example, the famous "Battle of the Bulge"
    where even today so called "Documentaries" are
    bristling with images & stories of German King
    Tiger tanks crashing through the lines. Well, half
    the German armor or more was comprised of
    the Hetzers! They just don't have the sex appeal
    of other WWII German armor...
