I think Jagd stems from Jager, meaning hunter in German They used it on their tanks too, and also thir night fighter planes, they would put upward firing cannons into the noses of ME110s or Dorniers, be quided on by radar, and ahoot them down that from underneath. They called it 'NachtMusik'. Their tank destroyers like the Jagdpanther a highly effective tank destroyer with the same 88mm gun we have, but designed to bust tanks instead of hole ships.(the Germans were at least cool cats when it came to naming their tanks, they had Tigers and Panthers and Lynx's, we got general's names like Sherman, Lee, and Grant, also Cromwell, and Crusader, two names that sums up some, but not all, of the worst in British History).
Enough historical facts, and back to the story!
