The SdKfz 165 Hummel ('bumble bee') was a self-propelled artillery gun based on the specially designed Geschutzwagen III/IV, which took elements of both the Panzer III (driving and steering system) and Panzer IV chassis (suspension and engine). Armed with the 15cm sFH 18 L/30 howitzer, it had an open-topped lightly-armoured fighting compartment at the back of the vehicle which housed both the howitzer and the crew. The engine was moved to the centre of the vehicle to make room for this compartment. It was used by the German Wehrmacht from late 1942 until the end of the war.
