Well first of all most of the Germans Tanks in WW2 where Panzer 4, second the idea of the panther came from T-34 -panther is an over engineered T-34. The best that was in the Panther was the gun and accuracy, the Armour was average for this class, better than the Sherman s of course. And often we forget that the Germans had excellent tactics and experience compare to Allied force.
Overall very ambitious design but why build one complex Panther or Tiger if you can have 6 Sherman tank build.
@MrPHAELAN Sherman was a mistake on all the aspects, never understood why it was chosen (Bribery or a position later-In my opinion).The boys going with inadequate training and a bad tank where heroes in my opinion. Russian T-34 where made using our US equipment that we gave them. The Russians where able to give a good tank, but we failed.Sherman had a airplane engine that used benzine that highly inflammable -no wonder why the Germans called it (lighter).
If I could so much as ride in a Panther just once, I would be the happiest man alive. It's just such an amazing piece of engineering... I really wish someone back in 1945 had thought ahead and realised that these vehicles would be worth more intact in a few years than they were as scrap metal then.
If I could own any tank, it would be the variant of the Panther; The Jagdpanther or the Panther itself. The King Tiger is among my favourites aswell.
a rumor says that there is a sunked tank 2 miles from my house in the river Mūsa, Latvia. nobody knows the exact location, thats why almost every year some group of fanatics go around asking the locals for clues. But as long as I know, they are just rednecks looking for scrap metal ;/
predi888 one week ago you made the statement that this panther was stolen.Watch the first part of this video again then you will understand my anger at such a low remark.If you still dont under stand me then i suggest you stay off this sight till you can properly understand what we are saying.
If these guys want a challange there is a churchil crocodile a pershing and a T34 at eden camp that coud do with some Oh I guess this guy has not heard of the firefly the panther was far outgunned by it with some Fireflys getting 5 kills in 5 shots

It's a real shame that in such a documentary, the narrator is so uneducated he can't pronounce the
tank ID correctly. Let's educate the educators before they get in front of the microphone..
