Panther

The Panzerkampfwagen V Panther is considered the model for many post-war tanks. It embodied a perfect balance between firepower, armour protection and mobility that was unrivalled in its time.

After some difficulties with the first models, the tank changed from „ problem child“ to one of the most valuable assets of the Panzerwaffe. Unique, previously unpublished photographs, overview tables, and above all the memories of eyewitnesses give this publication the hallmark of comprehensiveness. The book contains an analysis of the weapon system of this excellent tank, shows his strengths and weaknesses, Evaluates wartime situation reports and offers illuminating comparisons with enemy tanks, such as the T-34, KV, M4 Sherman and Cromwell.
