The Panther is one of the best-known German tanks of WWII. The Panther was also considered one of the best tanks of all the armies in conflict. The Panther was a great engineering success, as it proved reliable on cross-country terrain, fast, with great armor design, and a potent 75mm gun that had better penetration than the awesome Tiger's 88mm gun.
Designed to replace to the PzKpfw IV, which had met its match in the new Soviet T-34, the Panzerkampfwagen V "Panther" series of heavy tanks were armed with powerful weapons and equally powerful armor protection. Thought by many to be the best German tank of WWII, the Panther featured a sloped armored turret with a long barrel 75mm main gun and an anti-aircraft 7.92mm machine gun. It was equipped with anti-magnetic paste to combat magnetic mines, and armor skirts offered further protection for the track system and crew. Approximately 5,500 Panthers were built during WWII. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
