Not quite right there mate as Sweden only obtained one "Hetzer" n' that was one that was bought from France in '47 for evaluation. That vehicle is preserved today n' can be seen at the Swedish Armour Museum. It's not so that you're mixing it up between Sweden n' Switzerland who indeed used their own version called G13 after the war. Many of the "Hetzers" that can be seen at various museums 'round the world today is really modified G13's.
