General Characteristics and Role
The Panzerkampfwagen V Panther (Sd.Kfz. 171) was a German medium tank deployed during World War II. It was designed as a direct response to the powerful Soviet T-34, which had surprised German forces on the Eastern Front. The Panther is widely considered one of the best tanks of the war, successfully blending protection, mobility, and firepower. The Ausführung A (Ausf. A) was the second major production version and introduced several key improvements over the initial Ausf. D, including a redesigned, cast commander’s cupola and an improved ball-mounted machine gun port in the glacis plate. It was intended to serve as a fast, highly effective medium tank, supplementing the heavier Tiger I and eventually replacing the older Panzer III and Panzer IV models in the primary tank role.

Powerplant and Firepower

- Engine Power: 700 hp (522 kW).
- Maximum Road Speed: Approx. 46 km/h (29 mph).
- Main Armament: 1 x 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 cannon (79 rounds). This long-barreled, high-velocity gun was extremely effective against nearly all Allied tanks.
- Secondary Armament: 2 x 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns (one coaxial, one hull-mounted).
- Armor (Glacis Plate): 80 mm (3.15 in) angled at 55 degrees, providing effective protection equivalent to a much thicker plate.
- Transmission: ZF AK 7/20 seven-speed transmission.
Service History and Legacy
- First Major Action: The Panther tank debuted during the Battle of Kursk (Operation Citadel) in July 1943, where initial mechanical unreliability marred its performance.
- Improvements: The Ausf. A variant solved many of the transmission and engine reliability issues present in the initial Ausf. D, turning the Panther into a reliable and deadly fighting vehicle.
- Influence: The sloped armor design of the Panther, which maximized effective thickness and promoted projectile deflection, was highly influential, shaping post-war tank development worldwide.
- Production Numbers: Approximately 2,200 Ausf. A tanks were produced, making it the most numerous variant until the introduction of the Ausf. G.
- The Eastern and Western Fronts: The Panther saw extensive combat on both the Eastern Front against Soviet forces and the Western Front, playing a critical role in battles like the Battle of the Bulge.
