Historical Information

The Panther medium tank was one of the most important German armored vehicles of World War II, used mainly by the Wehrmacht between 1943 and 1945. The Ausf. A and D variants took part in key operations on the Eastern Front and during the fighting in Normandy. The characteristic side armor plates appeared on combat vehicles to protect the vulnerable side areas of the hull and suspension against anti-tank projectiles.
