    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.

    • @raymondkisner9240

  • @JackG79

    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

    • @JackG79

    @sprocket5526 5 років тому +11

    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.

    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.

  • @tempest411

    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.

    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
