Waw i never knew that there where different models of the panther. The panther is a very powerful and awesome tank to bad at the time it cost 120.000 reichsmarks to make 1. it was very useful seeing that it can easly take out russian t34/85 tanks and the only russian tank that could stand up to it was the stalin tank aka IS-2. Well the germans needed an answer to the russian heavy armor such as the kv 8. The tigers and panthers where the best choice.

Well in my opinion the Panther was the best choice because it was cheaper, more mobile and better than a Tiger in matters of reliability on the engine etc. :)

Awesome thread love the history! Should put a link to the footage of the battle at Cologne went and watched it, very interesting to see the results of penetrating rounds on a vehicle crew.

Great article, very concise but absolutely chock full of information. I had not seen the IR configuration on a panther before, that would have been truly devastating earlier in the war.

1. Thanks for the very good article.
2. I read OKW very often in the article, I think you mean OKH (Oberkommando des Heeres or High Command of the army). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberkommando_des_Heeres

1. Thank you guys for the kind words :blush:

2. The OKH (Oberkommando des Heeres) was actually below the OKW in the command chain after the Wehrmacht got defeated in Moscow 1941 because Hitler "joined" the OKW as Commander in Chief of the Wehrmacht. So at the time the Panther was developed the supreme command already belonged to Hitler and the OKW :)

The huge amount of time you spent writing this reflects itself! Vorsprung durch Technik ;)

Thank you for your considerable efforts, Fichten - I'm looking forward to your next thread!

Reading it makes me wonder if the Tiger got undue attention- i.e. the Panther may have been confused by the Allied tankers with the Tiger. We'll never know.
