The fact that people took the time to restore these giants means something....
Well the French used German tanks after the war to get there army back in shape, they restored panthers.
@@blurredputin1755and apparently one Tiger 1 but obviously it broke down a lot and after running out of spare parts they scrapped it
My favorite German tank because my father drew me a picture of one. He remembered the shape because he fought against it.
Wow, you must be an old lad
Your old man had taste.
Imagine being a rifle platoon and seeing this monster rolling down the street at you.
RUN AWAY!
@@dindrmindr626 Your right.
Imagine being the commander of this monster and seeing a bazooka squad on your flank about to cook you with a rocket?
I’m not gonna stop without a fight. Use use sticky grenades and sneak your way thru and plant them on the tracks. That should stop this monster
@George Lynch Dixon the flank of a phanter was about 40mm a rocket could penetrate it
That is one sexy looking tank.
The outlook was definitively better than liability.
it's the sexiest beast
Don't forget the King tiger.
put me in the drivers hatch. I'll get some dust flying. maybe my favorite tank of all time. smokes a lot less with higher octane fuel. beautiful piece of machinery.
U.S M4 Sherman Early Production cramped ? Look at the Sherman and early T-34s you’re tanks were nothing but population control and the idle steering thing was a myth so was the transmission thing .
I think your opinion is ver subjective considering that the Panther was considered to be Germany’s best tank, while it had its problems with its final drive that doesn’t mean it was bad, it’s fun was superior to that of the tiger in terms of penetration, it was also faster and more mobile than any other German heavy tank, it was cramped but it was beneficial for its crew as the chance of ricochet was much higher.
The Panther was no doubt a good tank, I believe your opinion is more subjective than anything else.
I know one thing for sure... it certainly wasn’t the worst.
@Michael Steinhoff Gotta love the americans, living their myths.
Michael Steinhoff it should be his favourite tank because he really likes it which he has made clear it doesn’t matter what it can and can’t do does it really it’s not in use as a fighting vehicle anymore.
@steiny blah blah blah! Which UA-camr did you regurgitate that nonsense from? Was it the guy who is 6'5 and can't fit in a tank that the average operator would have been 5'8 at the most? Or was it the one who cited postwar French reports on worn out and previously damaged tanks which were operated and maintained by men who were not familiar with the vehicle?
I was there Sat and Sun 2019. I saw the Panther running. It sounded like it had an ignition problem, the popping heard in the video.
Having said this, it was STILL an awesome experience! Thank you FRENCH ARMY, The Tank Museum, and all those who brought their vehicles or contributed to making this event possible with funds or labor.
Popping is most likely due to unburned gasoline flowing through exhaust, considering its size and low gear revving.
2 step
Fire from the exhoust, i hear this too :( lean mxture...
That commentary at the beginning is the trouble with Tankfest now; they have these silly "battle scenarios", with entirely unnecessary music played over the tannoy, rather than just letting you hear the tanks without interruption, which is what you want.
I totally agree
Wow that french cat really comes alive when going through the gears and actually gets up to speed! Well done by the driver and commander.
@Liam MusicScale indeed it was German.
@Time4Survival after ww2 france take 49 tank until 1950
@Wehrmacht nazi deutschland this is a captured German Panther and used by the French, French camo, French tricolour target logo and it even has the name "Bretagne" on the side... So abit of both
It actually served longer in the French Army than it did in the German Army.
Even so, I guess you could say the German Army version was "more famous".
@Wehrmacht nazi deutschland but french still had them
I can tell you now, your sub woofer, is not big enough to convey the pounding in your lungs from the pressurewaves as the combustion chambers ignite....
The Colossal Maybach engines really do rattle your chest to pieces.
nothing compared to the thunder of a Leo2 with twice the capazity and 2.5times the power... if a Leo2 is moving the earth is shaking
Beautiful, deadly and efficient machine! It also had the best anti-tank gun mounted on any tank during the war (my opinion, but fairly well supported). It was easy to steer, had a smooth suspension, had good mobility, had sufficient power, and had decent armor protection (especially on the front). As for the gun, it wasn't just about the high muzzle velocity and flat trajectory, this tank had excellent long-range optics, which allowed them to utilize the long-range capabilities of the gun. Definitely a machine that you didn't want to encounter face to face in an open field (if you even saw it before it took you out). I've always said that the Panther should have been the height of German tank innovation during the war. They should have simplified the design somewhat (made it cheaper and easier to maintenance) and learned how to mass produce this machine and use it almost exclusively as the main battle tank, while still producing large numbers of Stug III to serve in the infantry support and anti-personnel roles. Forget the Tiger and King Tiger, it should have been all about the Panther IMO. Not that it would have won them the war in the end without some other major changes in doctrine, but it would have been the smart thing to do.
It was a bit impractical tbh.
It was taller and larger than the sherman and had a pretty slow turret traverse, and was a bit hard to transport and required more maintenance.
It would be better if they focused on perfecting the panzer iv.
Magnificent vehicle! Thanks for a great video!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it
Great video footage and sound of this beast, thank you for sharing 👌
Beautiful panther
Panther was an outstanding fighting platform just ask Sherman and T34 crews
it was a big target too, just ask P47 and P51 pilots...lol
@@wildbill6976 laugh in ASU-57
Tohle je nejkrásnější střední tank druhé světové války , a s hlediska efektivity neměl konkurenci 👍👍👍👍👍😍
The cool thing is that they produced the Panther in January. Same month i was born. Panther is my lucky tank :)
I love the boxy design of the German tanks
To be fair, boxy design is accurate for the earlier tanks of the war like the Panzer I to VI.
But the panther is more angular so, not really boxy.
Meaning Panther is easier to manufacture than Pz IV series
That 7.5cm/L70 was a tank killer!
its more beautiful when u see an iron cross on it
*Balkenkreutz
With this camo it's a defender of freedom, and a tool used to guard and reinforce democracy in a war-torn nation. I think it's beautiful as it is.
@@Swordsman99k Defender of Christian civilization, love it ❤️
@@jaeger.5045 Christian civilization? Piss off lol trying to force people to believe in a religion has caused enough wars init
@@jaeger.5045 France is a fully secular state since 1905. We have Freedom of religion since 1789 (French Revolution) and religious instruction forbidden in public school since 1880s.
Great footage!
Thank you your comment means a lot ;-)
yeah, indeed. smooth camera work and good focus.
My faworite tank😁😁😁😁
Cool! I saw the same one a month ago in Overloon, militracks
Atleast i think it was the same one
@@rick1827 yes it is the same
My grandfather touched that exact tank on the side 80 years ago.
According to my knowledge there are just 4 running Panthers in the world now. One in France, one in Germany, one in Russia (Kublinka Museum) and a restored vehicle owned by an American collector.
There are 2 running panthers in germany. Koblenz and Munster
@@tonidmc Right. I believe the Japanese model company Tamiya sampled the sounds of one these tanks' engines when designing its fully functioning 1/16th Panther RC model kit several years ago.
@@richardgere9365 that's dope
Build models! When you hold history in your hands,....compare it to others,...read and watch its historic role in tank development,....you then begin to wonder of the men who depended on them for there very lives!
So cool
Still cool
Would it be too impractical to use the Panther G as my primary means of transportation? I mean, aside from the poor MPG...
That is one impressive beast even by today's standards
I bet it'll put up a great fight between an M1 Abrams in an urban environment.
@@louiswright8282
Nice joke
@@louiswright8282 Yea that's a bit ridiculous. Let's not get deluded here, the Panther is my favorite tank in history, but it's getting mowed down by a modern tank. The Panther can't even penetrate the frontal armor of a Leopard II which is an old ass design, (but still in use)
@@laurikotivuori1585 Well, through that way, yes it would get demolished, I was referring to how the Panther can use the Urban en for ambush attacks, which will be very effective against modern MBTs since they don't have much side armor, and a standard AP shell is much deadlier to the side than a standard APFSDS round.

カッコ良すぎ 感動
Amazing footage. Favorite tank in history man, god bless those poor motherfuckers who saw one of these rattling their way, amazing machine.
The sound of those tracks.
Is that what you call soundtracks?
What is the tank started shooting at the crowd?
OK, everybody -
Taking into account the monocular gunsight, chinless mantlet, and both the exhaust and hatch configurations, which *Ausf.* is this?
Thanks in advance for your rep[lies.
Meanwhile I'm gonna dig out my copy of the *Squadron* publication *Panther in Combat . . .* for reference.
As a certain eccentric once observed (albeit remarking on another German Big Cat), *"It's a mother-beautiful tank."*
Regards,
Kev
ps.
To our host:
*". . . so many positive waves! Maybe we can't lose!"*
-K.
It is an Ausf. A. You see it on the driver's vision port, the Ausf. G didn't have that.
Overall... the best tank the Germans had
This is the Bretagne Panther ... not the Panther 211 I was expecting!!! The engine is clearly needing maintenance on this one
This is 211 after the rebuild. Not sure about the Bretagne Panther historic truth though...
@@Theo2lag - didn't read the white letters at the rear side of the tank??? It says BRETAGNE ...
The 211 has no markins nor has the camo been altered ... plus, its engine does not fart at all when rev'd or moving forward
@@alfredquirinus4025 It is the 211, that has been restored as the Bretagne (pictures of the restoration on "Atel de Saumur" Facebook page), AKA as a WOT premium thing. There's no evidence (as for now _ I'm ready to remove everything I said if there's some evidence shown somewhere) of Bretagne Panther being real historicaly speaking. Dauphiné Panther is real, but it's an ausf G. Great that WOT finance tank restoration and sponsor Tank Museum, but invent stuff, not so great.
Its not original engine in it!!
@@sinisabalentovic9617 It is the original Maybach.
It's strange how the Germans persisted with Zimmerit, seeing how the allies didn't use magnetic munitions .....?
they got rid of it when they realised that
@@soundofeighthooves OK
The only WWII tank I like better is the King Tiger but the Panther will most certainly do.
This is actually a Panther in French army colors like they were in service after the war...
The french army needed armored vehicles and used captured panthers for both active service and research purposes (sad they didn't try to put their only AMX 50B into running condition, considering it was derived greatly from the King Tiger, save for the turret!)
Where can I get this tank is it for sale
COH2 players ✊🏻
It's Bretagne Panther
The French One..
Der Motor läuft aber schlecht aber sonst der beste Panzer seiner Zeit
this big cat is pretty but tigers are more
Engine is gasoil or gasoline?
gasoline
German heavy tanks are undoubtedly over rated pieces of scrap metal but damn, you can't deny that they just looked right!
You can call them scrap but there really just under developed, its hard to make tanks when your industry is being bombed left and right
bro unlike the us (at first atleast) the germans (even tho it affected them) put “Quality over Quantity”
@@PanzerHistorian It's really ironic that people keep saying that the Germans went with quality over quantity and the US went with quantity over quality when US Sherman tanks had infinitely more quality than German heavies. A big gun and thick armor may be impressive but if they can't even reach the battlefield in the first place without killing themselves is it really quality?
@@k-874 i mean …you are certainly correct,but look at the sherman,it was excellent in 1942,then 1943 it was good,not bad but guud and then in 1944 thats when it became outdated. for what i can see,the only reason why they kept the sherman in service was because like the panzer 4,but then again i cant really soeak much because my fav tank is the tiger 1 (and yes i know its flaws,but i like its function)
edit: the panzer 4,i meant that they can edit it constantly
edit 2: no offense tho,if you like the sherman than thats fine! and theres no prob :)👍
Imagine this tank meet atgm in battlefield..😁😁🤣🤣
War Thunder in nuttshell
Пантера это как в сср т34 средний танк.
POV : ur in a sherman in 1943 and u hear that in the forest
Where is the swastika or the iron cross on it without it it doesn't feel right
It’s a french captured panther.
French used the panther longer than the germans did
カッコいい🎵(^-^)/
The cool thing is that wargaming added this tank in World of tanks Blitz

c'est un panther français

The Panther weighs 45 tons, not 50.
It depends on the model, if it is a Panther Ausf D then it was more in the range of 40 tons, if it were one of the later models with better-ish transmission it was more 50-55 tons.
@@51starmouredinfantry84 no
This is a "medium" tank.
they are driving it even slower than tiger 131, somewhat dissapointing to be completely honest.
Feel free you buy yourself a running Panther and drive it as fast as you like.
You must remember that the Panther had truly a weak final drive that suffered frequent breakdowns, in fact most of the abandoned Panthers in Normandy was either lack fuel or broken final drive. As a comparison the Tiger had the epicyclic final drive that suffered much less breakdowns, aside the initial production batches therefore could afford higher speed. I suspect that the driver of the Panther have strict instructions to drive carefully....

Here’s another running Panther being given a bit more of a beating
The Panther was no match for the Bob Semple Tank.
Noooo!!! Where's the iron cross paint? This is sacrilege. This is a german masterpiece! Not a french. French army campaign in ww2 is ridiculous and pathetic.
panzerplace.eu/bretagne-panther-facts-fiction/ An interesting read
Had there been fifty thousand (50,000) Panthers vs fifty thousand Shermans, the war would not have ended in spring of '45 in Europe. The US Army's own estimate was five Shermans to kill one Panther. On top of that, the Russians fought the Deutsche (Germans) four years and won more territory back than the Anglo American forces did, which only fought them for three years and four months basically. Not to say that there wasn't terrible fighting in Europe, but we need to get the facts straight.
Russians only took back what was taken so badly away from them by the germans. :P
They also lost most soldiers, equipment and tanks... The Soviets.
It's good Hitler was an idiot, who wouldn't let his generals fight the war and Speer do the suplie side otherwise we would all speak German in the west
They would break before even seeing combat
The us army never estimate that they need 5 Sherman for one phanter,
The five shermans were the most little unit

Thank god grandpa hasnt have to witness an allied soldier driving a Panther tank
CloneWars501232 more then a few were repainted with a BIG white star on the side,...........yes turning the enemy’s own guns on themselves is a TIME HONORED tradition! Before being turned over to Aberdeen proving grounds!
@@marksolarz3756 even if it had a massive white star, I doubt infantry didn't panic for a moment when glanced at it.
hope that engine is heathy for many years, because it doesnt sound good
Wait, i thought they break down after 5 mins in to battle. This Video 8 mins long. WTF
HaVoC117X , it’s not in battle
That what they told the Americans are English Amys to keep them calm but when they came up agents them with their tin cans tanks well we all know what happened 🤕
What I understood the weak final drive suffered a breakdown after 150 km and the engine had a longer life span, of course by driving decently. Who told you that that it suffered a breakdown after 5 min??
That was in early models.Most of the Panthers which produced after mid 1944 had almost no issues Except if slave worker did a sabotage during production.
@@erichvonmanstein1952 I disgress because the Panthers produced after 1944 altroug better did had serious issues with the weak final drive but I think it could last longer then the notorius 150 km before breaking down (in fact most of the surviving Panthers still have the original final drive) if driven carefully, but it did suffered badly welded fuel pipes, a common problem in the final months of war, that tended to catch/leak fire in the overheated engine compartment and issue with the 3rd gear that was the most used gear. Generally speaking it was the chronic shortage of spares (aside fuel) that grounded them that could have been been relatively easy repared. Regarding sabotage I never heard of this with the Panther and also the StuG III and the Pz.Kwg IV so it was probably minor. Instead I heard of many cases regarding the Fw 190 A-8 that was sabotaged. Probably most of them came from the so-called "forest" factories...
where is Balkenkreuz? why is there an ugly English symbol there?
Fake, the transmission hasn't broken down lol 😅
Sounds like;
Some cylinders are not working and ignition problem it has.
+ horrible incorrect paint job.
It's the correct paintjob for when it was in French service. Funfact: panther tanks served longer in the French army than in the German army.
The music is hella annoying
