3d model henschel hs 129 b - HENSCHEL HS 129 B GERMAN TANK HUNTER AIRPLANE FIGHTER WWII by De Espona

The Henschel Hs 129 was a World War II ground attack aircraft fielded by the German Luftwaffe. Its nickname, the Panzerknacker (tank cracker), is a deliberate pun - in German, it also means 'safe cracker'. Although likely to be a good anti-tank weapon, it never really had a chance to prove itself in any real way - the plane was produced in only small numbers and deployed during a time when the Luftwaffe was unable to protect them from attack.
