@Arthur Dirindin In Normandy summer 44 the allied won the battle due to their air superiority and heavy aerial bombardment... There was no allied tank aces , 1 SS panzer division = 2 allied armored division... They fought the wrong ennemy...Patton was right..!
:-) Yes, if you don't count the heavvy losses due to aerial attack the Panther have an impressive ratio against alled tanks, expecially if can aim and knock out at far distance, and not launched relentessy in attack without recognition...
I'm surprised its in such a bad condition inside.. I get some of the things inside cant be tip top sparkling since its a running tank, but the entire breach of the gun is rusted and much of the interior clearly needs to be stripped and repainted as there is rust under the paint. I'ts not like there are 100's of panters around any more, so rare historical vehicles dosnt get ruined because of bad maintenance. Other then that is a pretty cool to see it from the inside.
Well stated. But I can well imagine it would be very expensive and time consuming to disassemble and strip the big cat down for a decent restoration. However she is a beauty. Hope she stays running for a long time so many people can appreciate a piece of history.
Beautiful tank and great commentary. I am not 100% sure but I think what he was trying to tell you is that thing over your head you can open it up and put a smoke grenade in it and you pull that pin back and release it to shoot the smoke grenade
This was made very difficult to understand because he said it right after explaining the smoke ventilation system forinside the tank after the main Armament is shot.
I worked with a guy who was a Panther tank gunner in WWII. He had some very interesting stories and information about different tanks used in WWII, both German and allied. He got taken out in France in the winter of 1944. He thinks it was rockets from a plane. He got badly burned and was saved by the American army hospital. He was very lucky.
I have been to the Tank museum in Saumur [ www.museedesbindes.fr] and it is absolutely fascinating. They have a lot of exhibits. When I was there a tank had just come out of their workshop and they were test driving it around the car park!

Thanks dear! I hadn't realized Panthers were so spacious inside. Now I'm wondering if The Chieftain has done an Inside the Hatch vid. Nice nod to his "Oh bugger. The tanks on fire" line. lol
A lot of equipment and things are missing (no ammunition, food, water, replacement optics, individual weapons, cushions...) but yes it is far more spacious than a M4 or a T34 as far I can tell from my experience.
An amazing birthday gift from the Saumur gentlemen! I am excited to tell you that I will be travelling for my first time to France and I am attending the 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙡 𝙙𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙪𝙢𝙪𝙧 at the invitation of mon Saumur amis! 19 & 20 of July: bit.ly/2Lm45yL - www.museedesblindes.fr/
Thank you Rita & Saumur Museum, and the video helpers & staff etc ;P As there is an accelerator/throttle pedal and a brake pedal (for slowing down the tank), so was the clutch automatic? using a syncromesh 'crash' style of gearbox, by operating the gear lever? ..similar or akin to the 'clutchless' or 'auto-clutch' gearshift on a Honda C50 or C90 etc by using the footpedal.
I guess the Panthers didn't have the same transmissions that Tigers did? I remember reading that Tigers had advanced steering mechanisms and used an automotive style steering wheel. Because the Panthers used the same engine, I had assumed the transmission was carried over as well.
That looks like a fun birthday, and I wish I could do something like that. I still would like to see you play alien isolation though, because Jingles chickened out. this was a great video though oh, it was nice to see the piece of history still working.
Is this a panther Asuf A? Also never knew that you fire the main gun with a foot press of a button. Very interesting. I am building a model of this tank with interior and there appears to be a bracket that goes over this button to cover it, I assume this is when not in battle to avoid accidental pressing.
Panther tank steering was by a steering wheel. The lever was auxiliary. So it seems, the „Bretagne restistánce Panther“ is not really historically accurate? Anyway, what did the captain say? „In the Panther, you find all the elements of a present day tank“ - in other words, it was at its time, an ultra-high tech superior vehicle. This for all the Panther bashing freaks. Panzerkampfwagen V was the best tank of WW 2

He is indeed! Many panzer tank crews didn't survive the retaking of France in June 1944. I read somewhere only 25% survive to get back to German lines
A very nice detailed explanation of the working of the turret crew and the driver.
Great video. Very informative.
Wonderful tank.

I went inside this panther before his new paint job, I don't know why but I prefer the old one better
I'm so jealous young lady...Id love to climb inside a piece of history like that..Bravo for the video...
Great video Rita, many thanks for sharing this with us.
Very interesting video. Thank you and the lad in uniform that provided descriptions in a heavy French açcent!
I'm french myself and his accent made my ears bleed 😂
I feel the need for French wine and cheese afterwards!

Would love the panther tank and Rita.😊💖
I am currently building a 1/35 Panther With full interior, This extremely helpful on my painting that I have to do Awesome Video
Looks like you had a fun time with the panther Rita
Thumbs up from an old M1 crewman and also because I know there's no air conditioning in those buggers.
Could you imagine what it would've been like to serve in the N.Africa campaign, in any tank on either side? Those damn things would've been ovens!
Rita! Amazing you got this rare opportunity to be inside this rare German Panther tank!
Now that's a real woman
Wonderful! The graceful and special lines of the Panther along with the wonderful lines of the Rita Gamer. Great tour of this fantastic tank!
Feliz Aniversário. Esse foi um vídeo maravilhoso.
cool Tank with wonderfull girl insite...i don't know that they shot with the feet/foot🤔very cool&thanx🤗
Le Panther is my favorite French tank...

They removed the recoil shields. This is why it is so spacious.

Rita you lucky girl... how do i get my wife into armour ........ i showed her the big gun shr wasnt impressed 😂
The Panther is my Favorit German Tank.
Rita, you are the best !
fell in Love 💋
Please take me with you
I liked the shape of Panzer III, Königstiger has a balanced shape too. Panther to me looks very strange. But Jagpanther is good looking.
Danka I needed this footage to complete my project 😄
Wonderful insight. Well done.
Lucky Rita! Nice vid, thanks.
"Just like a normal car"
-more like 25 normal cars!
Would truly be a scary sight if you were a Sherman crewman
I know the captain.. great fellow with a great accent 😂
Arnaud is a very nice gentleman, only meet him twice so far but I do enjoy his presence:3
I know him too, he's a friend of my father and a military mate. I like him, he's cool
i wonder if the french had modified this panther to shoot baguettes
Thank you Rita & Saumur Museum, and the video helpers & staff etc ;P
As there is an accelerator/throttle pedal and a brake pedal (for slowing down the tank), so was the clutch automatic? using a syncromesh 'crash' style of gearbox, by operating the gear lever?
..similar or akin to the 'clutchless' or 'auto-clutch' gearshift on a Honda C50 or C90 etc by using the footpedal.
Looks like the interior needs some restoration. In general it’s in great shape for a 70+ year old tank. Boy,Rita is a hottie!
I would pay allot of money to get inside that and drive around. Wonderful !
The Moore Clan I couldn't of said it any better.
No one said this I apologize for not saying it as well,HAPPY BIRTHDAY........Rita
Thank you!

No the Panther had a different transmission in fact the AK 7 200 from ZF company
Great to see thank you for the video.
Try the Australian artillery and tank museum Queensland Australia they worki in with bovington
My relative was a Sturmbannfuhrer in the 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen, so yes the Panther was involved.
Hans Gruber 9th panzer was an elite division
@@gooscooby5988 Yes it was!

Panther A indeed! :)
That Panther looks bad ass
Real Bretagne Panther :P (WoT players knows it ;))
@15:10 Yes. Yes you are.
still sad that i didn't get to get in the panther.
Man, what I would do be in a Panther tank. Oh well, maybe next time.
That's a big kitty
Nice to see a satellite dish on the back of it for The History Channel.
Génial ! Le musée de saumur et top !👍👍😉❤
Which tank is no matter.. When miss Rita beside me, I easily go to every battle. :)
Does anyone know how many running Panther tanks exist? Well, he answered that question!
I want one Rita.
Beauty Animal ,Panther 👍🏼
Não se compara com os tanques atuais.
Antigamente era mais difícil de manusear.

Magnífico 👌👌👌👌
Fearsome machine of a bygone era ....a T-34's worst nightmare .
Is the maroon color just the primer that's not painted?
I think it is panther ausf A. Nice
Its not Saumur´s Tank, its EIGENTUM DER WEHRMACHT ! ;)
Why does the gun breech looks so bad, that thing can explode if they put shell inside it

If you keep the cupola open and maintain the Tank properly and not going high speed on hard cross terrain, then it's a good Tank.
White343 Lol. Sounds as if you drove it during combat. Anyway, the best tank of WW2.
Panther tank never har steering wheel. They used different steering than the tiger.
StuG 3 was the best tank of WW2. Sry Fanboy.
is it legal to own a tank
Panther is good but the best is the royal tiger of Saumur!!!
Wo ist das Balkenkreuz?

Perché sul panther non hanno messo l'88?
Wondering if the hatches are open because it gets so hot inside! Remember being in Samur as a Child!
Is this a Panther A?
Imagino o terror das pessaos quando ouvia este barulho
Just by the accent I knew you were Portuguese

I wish! Ahah

What a sweet and nice Girl!!!! 😍
it's a real wonder these tanks could move with the crappy gasoline engines
French resistance?!😃😄😂😁
It needs paint outside so bad
The vehicle had been just painted prior to when this event took place.
Das "Alliierte-Zeichen" auf dem "Panter" muss aber nicht sein!

not even close to the mobility of a T-34-85. Top speed yes, but acceleration and traverse speed noooooope.
