The 10.5 cm K gepanzerte Selbstfahrlafette ("10.5 gun on armoured self-propelled mount") was a prototype self-propelled gun used by Nazi Germany during World War II. Although it was originally designed as a Schartenbrecher ("bunker buster") for use against the French Maginot Line defences[1] following thedefeat of France it was evaluated for use as a tank destroyer on the Eastern Front. Due to its poor turret traversal range and manoeuvrability, lack of armour on the sides and rear, it was of limited use and apparently not used after 1941.
