The first variant of the Grille was based on the
Panzer 38(t) Ausf. H chassis, which had its engine in the rear. Instead of a turret the vehicle
had a low-slung superstructure and fighting compartment. The 15 cm schweres Infanteriegeschütz
33 (heavy infantry gun) was mounted in the front of this armored compartment. Being built on a tank
chassis, its hull armour was 50 mm (front) and its superstructure armour was 25 mm (front)
A total of 200 (including one prototype) were produced in the BMM
(erstwhile ČKD Praga)
factory in Prague from February to June 1943, further 10 were built in November 1943.
The official designation was 15 cm Schweres Infanteriegeschütz 33 (Sf) auf Panzerkampfwagen
38(t) Ausf. H (Sd.Kfz. 138/1) Sd.Kfz.138/1 Sturmpanzer 38 (t) Ausführung
H, "Grille" found in an Austrian lake 1999 in Lauffen am Neckar then he was taken to Lauffen
The vehicle was supposed to undergo renovation, but it was lost in not
entirely clear circumstances

What do you mean by LOST ? How could that happen , it awful large to be lost !!!
I have been studying and casually researching WW2 AFVs for forty years, and I have never seen or heard of one of these in any books or programs/vids. I'm betting that it's languishing away in a government warehouse somewhere, buried in red tape; maybe it will come to light again if enough interest in it is expressed.
How the hell do you misplace A tank. It is not like they are the size of a pair of glasses.
When saying 'lost' read 'sold' to a collectionist on the black market...
