Like many German vehicles to see extensive combat during 1944 and 1945, the Wespe self-propelled 10.5cm howitzer first saw combat during mid-1943 on the Eastern Front. The Wespe mounts the highly effective 10.5cm leFH18 howitzer on a modified Panzer II light tank chassis with a protected fighting compartment for the crew.
