Developed during World War II, the Wespe was based on the Pz.Kpfw.II chassis and used the 10.5 cm IFH18 howitzer, which could propel 14 kg shells to distances of up to 10.6 km.
Some 676 Wespes were manufactured between February 1943 and July 1944, and they saw extensive use in both infantry support and anti-tank roles, from the Eastern Front to Normandy and Italy in the west.
In January 1944, the Allied forces attempted to decisively turn the tide in Italy with landings at Anzio. Wespe self-propelled howitzers were an integral part of the 26th Panzer and 29th Panzer Grenadier Divisions when the Germans responded.
