Panther: Germany’s Long-Range PREDATOR - and Its Mechanical CURSE

Описание: The Panzer V Panther was Germany’s answer to the shock of the T-34 - an ambitious medium tank built to win long-range duels with sloped frontal armor and the lethal 7.5 centimeters KwK 42. But its legend is a contradiction: terrifying at the moment of contact, fragile in its early months, and always demanding more maintenance than Germany could reliably provide. This episode traces the Panther’s rushed birth, its brutal debut at Kursk, its refinement through 1944, and its hard lessons in Normandy’s hedgerows and the Ardennes. In the end, the Panther wasn’t a wonder weapon - it was a high-performance design forced into a collapsing logistical reality, leaving a legacy that shaped postwar tank engineering as much as it shaped battlefield fear.
