Tank destroyers are a uniquely American weapon from the Second World War, like "assault guns" and Jadgpanzers were uniquely German. They stem from the early war debate in the U.S. Army on whether the best defense against tanks were tanks, or anti tank guns. Infantrymen tended to feel antitank guns were, which is also the same basic line of thinking that gave rise to German assault guns. The war would prove this line of thinking incorrect.
