The Panzerkampfwagen V “Panther” is widely recognised as one of the best tanks that was produced

during World War 11. It was deployed as a direct response to the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks on the

Eastern Front, which were superior to both the Panzer III and Panzer IV in terms of performance and

armaments. Powered by a 700 horsepower V-12 Maybach engine, it was armed with the 75 mm KwK

42 high speed gun which was a very effective anti-tank weapon. The Panther was designed with

optimal armor protection, including inclined front armor. Its overall mobility, speed and armaments

made the Panther one of the leading tanks of the period and ensured its deployment on all of the main

operational fronts, from the East through Italy and France.
