Panther tank 2008

[wariornt]

GO Faster as she can go ! xD

[85szabolcs]

Meh. The 44M Tas was sexier...

[AndrewGmaing]

@ToonandBBfan At 0:31 the One ahead is a Slugger, Not a light tank at all, It was a heavy anti-tank gun mounted on a open top. But the one behind it was... the one and only M1 staurt, A tiny little tin can xD Thats why it looks so small cause it is :P

[Clonecreator9]

Nice to see a panther in such good condition and not being blown up by the allies.well done samur

[ToonandBBfan]

Those light tanks at 0:31 look like tinky toys next to the Panther!

[GalaticSpaceHero]

What a TANK! Look at the tracks . You could retro fit this beast and put it back on the Battle field today. 

[tattoodtanker]

The only WWII musem the french deserve to have is the musem of dropped rifles. Returd these beautiful beasts to thier original masters.

"Dankbar für die Ehre und den Kampf der fartherland hat Ehre und Blut brachte ihnen das Eiserne Kreuz."

[germanysjim]

very nice , very nice , Panther rules, sherman sucks ass

[furbycommando94]

why do the french have all this stuff, they barely even fought, they dont deserve to own these monsters

[haiherosner]

Achtung Panther, Raaahhh

[smonyboy]

the germans should have built more of these badasses and spend more time refining them rather than producing insufficient high-quality tigers and king tigers.

[dastotalebroetchen]

@smonyboy thats true

[some2guy]

French language spoiled the whole effect

[NaturalBornArsehole]

There is some great footage of a Panther being destroyed and the crew getting smoked by a Pershing tamk with the magnificent Koln Cathedral in the background elsewhere on Utube. Awesome

[nakazatoGTR]

AUSF A? is it?

[lapistola28]

Yeah Napoleon ... Even he didn't like the french people ...... I figured that would be a French Hero ... A 4ft tall little man with an attitude problem ... HAHAHAHAHA

[lapistola28]

France has a military museum ????? I would have thought it would be full of "white flags" ........ Cheese eating surrender monkeys !!!!

[solinvictus39]

@lapistola28 You obviously don't know much about French military history. Ever heard of Napoleon?

[thibault991]

Je vit a Saumur et ses bien le seul musée intéressant xd a par le châteaux mais bon..

[tolkienismaster]

sti

[Zukatsr125]

I love the Panther tank!

[TechmarineArkantos]

A truly beautiful feat of engineering.

[TheR3dF0x]

German steel.

[Bikkeliris]

if the germans never had attackt russia, they had won the war.

happy that hitler was the lider for that reasonxd.

[F22RaptorDude]

Its destroying the road! lol

[tropicthunder332]

strange how everybody like german ww2 tanks even if the country which these comments come from was conquered by germany that time.

[thegoosebrain]

I WANT ONE!

[Tubercollosal]

Beautiful!!!

[smokalot5100]

nice jamaican coloring scheme...

[omairiqbal889]

one of the finest tank in the history of armored warfare

[ThePicklepirate]

I like the cute little American tanks driving by the big hulking Panther - LOL!

[NitroNein]

only really effective way to kill it frontally - shoot a HE shell into the hatch

[plasteber]

THIS is german art ;D

[jimmyxx3]

You have got to love German tanks, best of WW2 tanks.

[MrAngleman63]

Jeez I never thought I'd ever see a moving Panther. Thanks for posting.

[Siepzinho]

Lol! Look at that tiny M3 @ 0:35. I wouldn't want to be inside a Sherman if I saw one of those things bearing down upon me.

[TheXenomorph1]

PzKpfw. V Panther, the "Pride of the Fatherland"!

[HermannWillie90]

i love it!

[345mentor]

That T34 at the end of the clip was even dwarfed by the mighty panther.

[captainhowdie]

Wenn ich im Lotto gewinne, kaufe ich mir so einen und geh damit Brötchen holen.

[tomekl119]

German steel ;)

[MeowMixYoMama]

what the difference between this and a King Tiger?

[BoostedInline6]

@MeowMixYoMama The King Tiger was a heavy battle tank - replacing the Tiger. The Panther was a lighter medium tank and T34 fighter.

[jasincl]

@MeowMixYoMama the King Tiger was Sloooooooooooooooooooooooow it weighed 69tons (this weighed 40tons) the King Tiger hade a 88mm cannon the panther hade a 75mm the king tigers armour was considered IMPOSSIBLE TO DESTROY (it was slopped armour and it was over 170-250mm thick!) panther hade 70mm thick slopped armour and... its smaller i guess

[NLmonsterNL]

@jasincl the tiger II had sloped armour the Tiger I didn't

[DUXNOBISHONORIS]

@0:32

look the us tanks...hahahahaha. lol

[Nweter]

I can't think of a more aesthetically pleasing tank than this thing. Is this an Ausf. A? Forgive my ignorance. :/

[HypersonicWave]

Lack of fuel was a huge problem for those beasts....

[oldmanwithers1]

lol at 0.30 to 0.40 at the tiny little one compared to the panther

[bomel666]

@oldmanwithers1 haha for real man. that was the first thing i thought when i watched this video :D

[0Kahless0]

Panther was the best Tank of WWII. After the War, the French used it for a while, because it was so superb.

[Ralroost]

And probably also because the french sucked at building tanks.

[z31Joshyman]

LOL

[skeilak]

@0Kahless0

It was the best tank the nazis had.

The Soviet T-34/85mm was the best tank of WWII.

The French used Panthers, for a few years, because there were a few of them still running, already in France, and for political reasons, as France did not want to re-equip with American weapons. (Although, they later did.)

Tanks were not a big priority for the French military, at that point in time. They were far more concerned with regaining control of their colonies.

[ShorelineThomas]

Panther type D?

[dafydd67]

@ShorelineThomas No its an Ausf.A mid production , this one I believe served with either the Panzer Lehr or the 12th SS as they had more of these than the later Ausf.G . A number which were abondoned were rquistioned into the french army until they had their own tanks .

[cristiandan06]

PANTHER RULS!!!

[duderseb]

Wonder what'll happen if you'd take one of these for a joyride around town without anyone knowing. What'll people do?

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@duderseb

thne People will call the cops, thake pictures with cameras and Cell Phones

and this thing will draw a heck of allot of attention.

Besides. it's Illigal to drive a Tank across the streets in the U.S.A ?

[himmler251]

no cuz at a reenactment in florida we drove into town at a german resturaung in 251 halftracks, a stug, and a panzer 4

[32silvercoins]

If I had to face one of these monsters in person, I would crap my pants.

[Aundrich]

This multi plated amored golioth was a good tank during the second world war. But cost alot to manufacture and sucked fuel like there's no tomarrow!lol

[Aundrich]

I like the panther alot. It was one of the last tank designe for the Nazis during the second world war. But i myself like the Aufs Panzer IV. It has all you would realy need in combat. Side skirts for amor protection on the tredds and reenforced steel plateing on the turrent. Not to mention a high veliocty 75mm gun.lol

[Nigtronikz]

If you had to be a German WW2 tanker, which tank would you pick?

Jagdpanther for me.

[wilhelmspw]

well i d pick a panther g with night vision

[Nigtronikz]

And what a cool name for the night vision system. Vampyr.

[slopedarmor]

Tiger I, King Tiger or Jagdtiger for me.

Why?

For me, as a crewmember, a tank breaking down doesn't kill me.

The armor ketting penetrated does kill me.

[Nigtronikz]

The problem with almost all of our choices is that Germany's lack of air defenses in the late war period was one of its weakest points. It doesn't matter if a Sherman can't knock you out; a Typhoon can easily do the job without fear of retribution!

Would any tanks be less vulnerable to to air-ground attacks? Maybe lower profile tank destroyers like the Hetzer?

[nelsonr12]

Panzer 4

[dansterrrr]

Tiger 1 late production

[glynamus]

they did make some parts to bring those rare tanks back to life. i can only guess what cost be to make them. just glad they are running again.

[WTCTribute]

Imo, they should send all the tanks and planes that survived WW2 back to Germany, where they were built 60 years ago.

[messerschmit109]

well this is in france, not too far to go :D

[Nigtronikz]

And give them a chance to regroup and rebuild? NEVER!

[WTCTribute]

FOOL!

They will rebuild one day. You'll see! YOU'LL ALL SEE!

[JAGDPANTHER20]

@WTCTribute they lost . which means they can't keep any of their toys.

[IXIBobOhIXI]

@WTCTribute But we wouldnt get to see em then.

[jiggahippo]

@WTCTribute why? its called, The Spoils of War, not givesie backsie!

[Abensberg]

@WTCTribute thats a bad idea....

our government would destroy them because it has something to do with our baaad baaaaad nazi time ;-)

[MilitaryPS3Tanks]

@WTCTribute Yes all German tanks to Germany all American tanks to America all Russian tanks to Russia and so on

[Etimos]

@WTCTribute Unfortunately I dont think most germans would want them back. As a country, they seem more interested in forgetting that war ever happened. Cant say as I blame them, either. After the total physical and financial ruin it caused, they spent the following 45 years split in half between Allied Europe and Communist Russia. As a country, Germany STILL hasnt fully recovered.

[BigMek456]

@Etimos no! i want to drive to college with a panther!

[finsterwald181167]

@Etimos We will NEVER recover-we dying a slowly slowly dead that´s judas destiny for us !!

[MrTitanRed]

@WTCTribute Only if they give us the 70 million people that died back, oh wait..

[eucalyptu5]

@MrTitanRed Like if someone gives a shit about russian corpses

[MrTitanRed]

@eucalyptu5 When did i say they were russian?.

[hardstyle905]

@MrTitanRed First, Americans need to give their country back to the 100 million Natives that they erradicated.

[tattoodtanker]

@hardstyle905 If we did that then we'd have to go back to whatever European country we came from. Do you really want us back? I don't think so.

[duskbringer157]

@WTCTribute The Germans STILL don't like talking about that era. I doubt they'd like to see their old war machines back, to be honest.

[oOCrossroadsOo]

@WTCTribute : The Wehrmacht shouldn't have let its stuff all over Europe hey... finders keepers :D

[Nebukadnezarthe2nd]

@WTCTribute and where they lost the war...right

[Mandrak789]

@WTCTribute Germans aren't very interested for getting back Nazi tanks, I can tell you that...

[weedlawdaG]

@Mandrak789 im real Berliner and thats not the truth, the most of our tanks are in french and the eastern europe we want it back, but its no way, in germany is not one tiger other people bring it to us for showing lol

[haiherosner]

@weedlawdaG In Munster Tank museum is a King-Tiger with a Henschel Turret, and a Sturm-Tiger, so there are Tiger tanks in Germany, go see them. You can see it on youtube, type Munster Tank Museum, lots of good stuff.

[weedlawdaG]

@haiherosner yea ok but no tiger 1 we dont have all types of our tanks but its not important too the war is over lol nice day

[haiherosner]

@weedlawdaG There is a Tiger 1 tank in Germany being re-built, it's on YouTube, please type "TIGER PANZER MOTORSTART" and also "TIGER PANZER MOTORSTART 2", they have started the Maybach motor to working order, but have not yet put on the tracks or wheels. Soon there will be a fully working Tiger 1 tank in Germany.

[GalaticSpaceHero]

@haiherosner If you put together a team of Engineers and welders , fabricators you could build one like it maybe not the sam engine / transmission but im sure Germans could build some amazing stuff if they liked.

[icaruss88]

@GalaticSpaceHero

Weta made replicas for panzer88 film

you can see the panzer IV of aluminium in youtube

Tiger and panther are secret but panzer IV was filmed in one ar show.

[GalaticSpaceHero]

@icaruss88 The best copy cats in the world(China) who can copy anything actually make exact riplicas of Tanks, planes,vec, boats. out of i believe fiberglass. If you put the real fighter next to replica it looks indentical. I saw P-40 , thought it was the real deal until i looked inside of it . Realize theres no way this plane can fly in the air. Its dam good copy, copy

[TransAmDrifter]

@Mandrak789 that sounds pussy as hell... I think Germans are kinda mentally castrated after WW2

[MegaLiopleurodon]

ROFL 0:30-0:42. I'd get out of this tin-can and run like hell, not a 1% chance against the Panther !

[DefconBravo]

Never knew they had a hatch on the back of the turret

[MrFredo007]

so you can learn from yt.!It´s my famous ger.tank-it was also yoused by the french & soviet army too!!Greetings,piet

[axel99i]

why have french Museeum´s so much functional PANTHER...?

they jused it after WW2 from 1950 up to the 1973

and than they must shut down  them because most of them have no more spare parts to repair

[Hoki4]

Damn that tank is so nice. i would jizz my pants if i got 1 :)

[hazed100]

I would like to say well done to whom so ever restored that tank, must have cost a literal fortune and ten(?)years of heavy duty restoration to get it to that state.

Anyone know where they run these rare machines in the UK? does Bovington tank museum have any heavy / medium tanks in running order? and better still when can i go see one?

[9thprotocol]

Bovington has a Tiger I in running order...they occasionally bring it out for show

[SwissPyro]

Don't they have a Tiger B too?

[pussuw]

Dont think bovington has one. Im pretty sure there are only a total 2 Panthers intact. A while back I read about a fellow from USA that was planning to recover a pretty well preserved Panther from the bottom of some river in eastern europe making it the 3rd Panther still intact. Dont know if he found it or was able to recover it...

My point is that this beast is EXTREMELY rare.

[egerhardcore]

There is one at Bovington,i`ve seen and photographed it in `08.I think it`s a `45 and never seen battle.

[servingsoldier70]

The Panther in Bovington is actually a vehicle built from parts revovered from the factory in 1945. It was constructed by the British Army, (REME), for evaluation purposes.  They have a Jagdpanther built the same way. Neither are 'runners' i believe.

[servingsoldier70]

The guy in America is Jacques Littlefield. He has the largest private tank collection in the world. Unfortunately he died earlier this year. The Panther was complete from the turret ring down. the top half had to be re-constructed. It was probably destroyed by air attack.

[petrwarry72]

servingsoldier70-that littlefield's panther came from poland,sunk in river and damaged by its crew (grenades) too.turret is repro as they couldn't restore too damaged original turret

[Mustang1204]

nope, was destroyed by charges set up by its crew.

[SWALE1984]

Notice how it dwarfs the T34 it rolled past!

[TolisPanatha13]

lol ok

[Tmilitairke]

lol this is a panther and NOT a tiger ! looks like you know it all lol

[Dreachon]

get yourself a decent book on german tanks, that is panzerkampfwagen 5 Panther ausf. A, not a tiger.

[rjlachancetincan]

You are retarded.

[Anullu22]

I luv this tank

[admoonhermiz]

where is the new tanks???

[AndyBestUK]

Amazing tank

[trentcreek]

Why does everyone have their hands up to to that German tank? ;-)

[AltesEisen81]

Because it's a sexy beast !! ;)

[trentcreek]

Maybe the French surrendering to it?

[qv76]

LOL

[Silnius]

LOLOLOL

[Beau74]

You mean the people taking pictures? :P

[2shacks1house]

Well aside from the fact it is a sexy tank once the bugs were fixed it was more than a match for any allied tank Both Russian and American. Just look at a Panther G late version and you will see near perfection. It was the best medium tank the Germans fielded. Truely a work of art. But hey, that's just me.

[Firehound6264]

My favourite tank of all time these ones. nice old tanks i would really like one of these critters in my shed lol

[Huzzah89]

my fav tank of the war. Absolute beast.

[Duelkenvideo]

It's always good to see this video again! I'm planning to go to Saumur museum in France next year - I was told the tanks will be moving on 3 & 30 May and again on 11 & 12 July!

[alainwalter]

Thanks. You'll have a small free show in may. The one in july is probably better but is not that cheap.

[freddyfish94]

tell me where is this museum

[trentcreek]

Read the info

[Duelkenvideo]

awesome tank!

[filon102]

My all-time favorite tank of the war :D

[alainwalter]

my favorite too

[MilitaryPS3Tanks]

@filon102 Me to Panther tank is awesome

[tME4the]

@filon102 the M1abarms it better xD or t-190
