  • There's a Tiger next to the M3...both of them Panther & Tiger are just great when working 2gether

  • @MegaKaiser45

    yes, it is rather unique to see a Panther and a Tiger togheter in some same Video Material.

  • I know this is war time propaganda, but comparing the M3 against the Panther is like comparing a bar of soap against a medieval dragon-it's just unfair. I didn't even know the M3 was still in service when the Panther came around.

  • M3 and a Panther, even an M4 and a panther, isn't equal. Compare a Panther and a Pershing, that's more fair.

  • @Akke024 The Pershing was actually developed around the same time as the Panther, it just got delayed because of beaurucratic gungling. As for the M3, it's a completely different class of tank than the Panther. Compare the M3 and a contemporary such as the Panzer 2 or 3.

  • @redreaper2020

    Why ?

    The Pershing is end war 1945 , the earlier US tanks just sucked compared to the german counterparts of the time........

  • German tanks...best of the best...Pride of the Fatherland

  • @geeknproud321

    Your just making things up, both the MAN and DB were given an order for a design for a new medium tank, the DB design never got beyond a wooden model as it quickly realised that the MAN design was better.

    The MAN prototpye was already a Panther and not like you claim a T-34 with an iron cross.

  • @redreaper2020 The Pershing probably wasn't in service when this video was created.

  • @SVB222 Actually the Panther started development as a German-made copy of the T-34. It was called the VK3002 and was built by Daimler-Benz. The design was great, but they were afraid of friendly fire accidents due to the similar profile. The turret was moved back a bit and viola, you have a Panther. So yes, the Panther and the Russian T-34 are very closely related design-wise. The working prototypes of the Panther were nothing more than T34s with an iron cross and German-made guts.
