The 10.5 cm leFH18/1 L/28 on Waffenträger GW IVb was known as “Heuschrecke (Grasshopper)”.
This long name refers to a special self-propelled howitzer that was based on the hull of the Panzer IV.
The weapon carrier had a 10.5 cm gun mounted in a 360° rotating turret.
The vehicle had a lifting gantry installed at the rear of the structure that could remove the turret and position it on the ground.
Alternatively, the tower could be placed on a wheeled cart and towed behind the vehicle.
This then allowed the Heuschrecke to act as an ammunition carrier.
Only three prototypes were built in 1943.
