My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during five and a half years and was assassinated on 11.7.09. Because of our homepage linked on my channel.
@wwwtotalitaerde Please excuse his mental illness. Martin Bott (wwwtotalitaerde) is suffering from a psychosis that makes him believe the government is after him, controlling minds everywhere etc. >_> His allegedly murdered brother even went to court against him because he didn’t want him to use his name for that nonsense. Now he sticks to defaming my country in Youtube videos. He’s a madman and wants to make his shitty conspiracy-homepage look important, nothing else.
Well done good work in Poland was destroyed by him for the rest. Well that came to you and has been restored. Thank you passionate Polish armored vehicles.
i really think that Germans are its best of technologies at that time. tanks are powerful. if you love watching History Channel and Military Channel. you know why they were advance during WWII....
@HIGHVAASTECH It wasnt that good. Weak armour and weapons. But! The russians hade quantity. So they spammed hundreds of hundreds of tanks. Thats why they overran the germans.
Holy crap, that is just an AWESOME project. Germans in WWII had by far the best material, and in my humble opinion their materials looked better then the allied stuff as well. I hope to see this baby in real once!
I saw some about this on military channel, it is a very special thing to have a original panzer, especially one with this type of history! you should treat this thing with some real respect!
I would say you are doing the coooolest thing in the world but I dont want to glorify those genocidale fuckwits! ! but buy god ! ! ! ! could they build tanks !!!!!!!!!
i believe this beautiful piece of german excellence is a Pz V ausf. A? with a little extra mantle on the rear side armor? i could be mistaken, but it's definitely an early model.
@FilipinoZeroFighter It says it was assembled in Feb. '44, so that would be and early A or possibly very late D. Not sure without my reference material handy. I think they did add the ball mount hull MG later on D's.
I'm really impressed, caddydave!! What a beautifull recordings of this restoration!! I would LOVE to help with such a job, but regrettable, I'm not very handy.
Fajny glosny silniczek.Dobrze ze sa tacy ludzie ktorzy odrestautowuja takie cudenka a np w Duxfort maja slynna Flying Fortress B 17 Sally B ktora zagrala w filmie memphis Belle tylulowa bochaterke.Mam nadzieje ze kiedys zobacze w rzeczywistoci ten piekny bombowiec
@raap009 The Russian T-34 was also a very good tank, but it was based on experiences with the German tanks during the first days of the war.
It all depends on how you define success. If you take the limited means of the German engineers in account, yes then this was clearly the best thing of the entire war.
Must have cost boatloads of money to restore a submerged tank. Goverment sponsorship?
Love to see this classic tank live again.
To counter doublevision: agree on maybach design but the best tank engine of ww2 is t-34 36 liter diesel. Hard to put on fire, low consumption and good torque. Modern mbt only diesel.
Love this. German world war II tanks were masterpieces of craftsmanship and design. The Maybach engines were way before there time. Most people think Chrysler invented the Hemi and they get a big surprise when they find Hemi`s were around early in the 20th century. The maybach engines used in these tanks were Hemi`s. Karl Maybach was a genius. Maybach engines made good power considering the weight they had to move. And to think all they had to work with was real poor quality low octane fuel.
ok this next little phrase Im ashamed of myslef for saying this but scrap the turret. That right there u load ur mates up with a shitload of grog and u hit a night on the town drivin that around smash some car and pick up girls who get horny over armour.
Marvelous! Look at how it chews up the asphalt. Thank you for restoring such a fantastic piece of equipment. The Panther was the best balance of armor and firepower. A great weapon of war.
@PinkOld Relax about the turret. The original was destroyed when the original crew abandoned the Panther as it sank into the frozen river in Poland. They took measurements of the original pieces of the turret and had a brand new turret created at a foundry in Oakland. Last I saw it, it was painted up and just needed to be installed along with the barrel. Its the most beautiful armored vehicle restoration. If you ever get a chance to see it, DO IT! Nobody does it better than these guys!
Yeah, I had read another post on here that said they had gotten one built.
I must meant that it would have been really cool to have the stock turret, especially considering the fantastic job they have done on this old girl so far.
I wonder if these guys might tackle restoring a Tiger tank next?
@PinkOld No one can tell the difference in the turret. Its perfect. Last time I was there, they said that after they finished the Panther, a M-3 Lee was the next project.
As a former truck, bus, and heavy equipment mechanic, simply thinking about the amount of work required makes me want to break down, and cry. Outstanding job, gentleman! From having spent 45 years at the bottom of a river in Poland, to better than it was when the Heer took delivery!
My fathers coworker (passed long ago) was sick of this tank, he lost the left eye. After his tank were hidden by 2 granates, he flew 8 Meters out of the drivers slot. Additional he said, this tank was not repairable on the front, because too complecated. But congratulations to this rebuild. I think to myself, maybe he looks better then new in those days.
It fell in a river while trying to escape air bombardment in Russia so it took a diversion into the woods covered in snow at the time.It came to a small lake but the crew thought it was shallow so they drove straight across it but where caught by how deep it was in middle of the river.The crew then decided that the only way not to let it fall into the hands of the enemy was to set charges in its turret,which completely destroyed the turret.The turret had to be built from scratch for the refurb.
German tank crews painted the camoflauge on their tanks themselves in the field. they were shipped in panzer yellow. there are many pictures showing panzer crews painting their tanks with brooms, so if anything those model builders that spend months painting their tanks with fine detail brushes are the incorrect ones. besides, they got that thing to run, which is more than can be said for the german army at certian times;)
I hope they got their colours correct on the hull of that mighty cat! Modellers will roast them alive for any inaccuracies in the restoration and care of this German war machine. I have to dig up my color swatches and compare next time I'm out to see this beast!
Did you already got asked for lending it to a hollywood movie company, making a wwII movie? I'd like to hear the original maybach in HQ on a blu- ray, not like the faked "T-34 Tiger" in Saving Private Ryan =D
just FYI: Close to Moscow, Russia, there is the tank museum "Kubinka" - there are at least 3 German tanks that can move: T-IV (captured in several movies), T-V G and T-VI (the last one's engine was overheated a year ago. May be it is restored, but m not sure).
I know these are the last of there breed and it cost alomst as much to restore them as it did to build them back in the day but once just once I'd love to see some one open one up all the way in an open feild some where and let it run ! I know they are old but they are still just as tough as the day they were built , they are after all war machines !
A Sherman tank commander once said if he had the choice of a Tiger Tank or a Sherman tank he would take the Tiger Tank because he saw how the Shermans would go up in flames and the loss of many of his comrades went with them.
KIngTiger was a piece of crap! Way too big, too slow and too expensive. If it was the best the French would have taken it rather than the Panther. Then Panther was the best.
@genmeagher Id hardly call a King tiger a "Peice of crap" It had its issues but it was an awesome Weapon,specially on defense. I doubt youd feel it was crap if you where on the wrong end of the 88
@SSBlackAngel I'd rather be on the wrong end of that 88 since there would be dozens of allied tanks behind me, especially the russians, who fielded the improved T34 with 85mm cannon that can blast king tigers. Considering who won the war =)
Wow, I never imagine that the chasis itself is soo big and tall. Quite disadvantages for close encounter (side armour also weak). But great tank nevertheless (Frontal armour, guns, speed -ok).
Quote: "The Maybach engine in this tank is using the original block, crank shaft, connecting rods,connecting rod bearings, pistons, valves, camshafts , heads."
Incorrect, initially yes, but after Kursk the Panthers engine was replaced and certain problems were resolved resulting in the Panther being very reliable.
Even Tigers and King Tigers could be reliable if the engines were maintained and serviced regularly in which case they would see little mechanicle trouble. German repair crews were never far away either.
This MUST be the best job in the world!!!! <3 <3

It's normal for the engine to have some smaller misfirings, right?

If you take a look at the complete "package" I'd say Panther, superior mobility and the gun could knock out every allied tank, too.

PANTHER, the "holy grail" for tank enthusiasts.
Let hunt for some T-34's!

There's some merit in that, but I argue it was more the fact that that they were rushed into service.

Incorrect, initially yes, but after Kursk the Panthers engine was replaced and certain problems were resolved resulting in the Panther being very reliable.
Even Tigers and King Tigers could be reliable if the engines were maintained and serviced regularly in which case they would see little mechanicle trouble. German repair crews were never far away either.
