- Rare WW2 Panther Ausf.G Battle of the Bulge - Panzerkampfwagen V.
The Panther was a German medium tank developed in 1938 out of a project to replace the Panzer III and IV called the VK 20 series and design proposals were send in by Krupp, Daimler Benz and MAN.
The VK20 design was abandoned as the requirements increased to a vehicle weighing 30 tonnes after he German army encountered the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks.
This would lead to the VK 30.02(DB) design, which would resemble the T-34 in hull and turret and i would also be powered by a diesel engine.
The two designs were reviewed from January to March 1942.
The MAN design embodied a more conventional configuration, with the transmission and drive sprocket in the front and a centrally mounted turret and the Daimler-Benz design was viewed to be superior to MAN's design. But because the MAN design used an existing turret designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig, and a mild steel prototype of the MAN design was produced by September 1942 and, after testing at Kummersdorf, it would be officially accepted.
In January 1943 MAN produced the first production series Panther Ausf.D tank.
It would be called the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther until 27 February 1944, when it was ordered that the Roman numeral "V" be deleted.
The early Panther tanks were eventually send back in April through May 1943 for a major rebuilding program, because of major breakdowns.
Petrol leaks from the fuel pump and fuel-lines were also a problem and would produced fires in the engine compartment, this problem was never really solved and the Panther was the actual real Ronson tank.
Later versions of the Panther would be the A and G, and the last version was the F which would never see any action.
The Ausf G saw several changes, most people always seem to think this has to do with the turret, but the turret and 7.5cm Kw.K L/70 gun was the same one used on the earlier Ausf.A.
On 4 May 1944, during a meeting at the M.A.N. company, a decision was made to design a new Panther tank chassis. Work had already started on developing a new version of the Panther tank called Panther II but that was far from completion. Some of the lessons learnt from that design process were used in formulating the plans for the Ausf.G tank chassis.
The new chassis pannier side armor was sloped at 29 degrees. The thickness in the armor was increased from 40 mm to 50 mm and the rear side armor wedges at the end of the superstructure were not part of the new design.
A perceived weak spot was the driver’s armored vision port cut into the front glacis plate. This was deleted in the design of the Ausf.G chassis. and the total look of the chassis was changed and this is also the way to identify a Panther Ausf, G.
There were many other minor changes but the overall thinking behind the design was to simplify the construction process to enable more tanks to be built as fast as possible.
Another simplification of the production process was to introduce less complicated hinged hatches above the heads of the driver and radio operator.
Some problems were never to be solved like the petrol leaks from the fuel pump and fuel-lines.
A few minor changes were made to the turret during the production and a new gun mantle was gradually introduced. It had a ‘chin’ guard to stop enemy armor piercing shells ricocheting off the bottom of the mantel and penetrating the roof of the chassis, but this is a a extreme rarity on the Ausf.G.
The Ausf.G was, however, not the last Panther version. Two major overhauls were attempted, the Panther II and the Ausf.F.
In November 1943, Rheinmetall designed a new turret with a narrow front plate.
The narrow turret presented a smaller target and spared weight as well. The design was refined in March 1944, under the name of Schmale Blende Turm-Panther (Schmallturm).
The complete Ausf.F. never saw any real combat, but a few managed to be completed by 20-23 of April 1945, they would have immediately seen combat defending Berlin with the II Abteilung/Panzer Regiment 2, However, at least one Pz.Kpfw. Panther Ausf.F mounting a Pz.Kpfw. Panther Ausf.G. turret was seen defending Berlin in 1945.

Still when look at a destroyed or broken German Panther, feel so sad...
It's a masterpiece 'n suppose the best tank in WW2 ...
Respect to our elders 'n their genius craftmanship...
panther was shit mate
It’s so cool when You see the German propaganda footage and the. The same panthers that were filmed destroyed on the side of roads it is pretty creepy and cool at the same time
These WWII images are stunning. Excellent video.
The Panther is a baddass
@@gregj831 These WWII images are stunning. Excellent video.
What a beautiful tank. Thank you for the footage! It's always a pleasure to see a new upload from this channel. Keep at it man :)
Thank you and Glad you enjoy the videos.
These WWII images are stunning. Excellent video.
Very thanks Panzer Insight.
These WWII images are stunning. Excellent video.
0:10 Tank training with several vehicles.
1:16 Panther tanks in Normandy.
1:47 Several Panther A and G tanks knocked out in and around Lingevres, Normandy, Battle for Lingevres 14 June 1944
1:50 A abandoned Panther A and G along the road in Normandy.
2:06 A Knocked out Panther ausf G, commanded by Untersturmfuhrer Teichert from the 4th Company of the 1st Abteilung (Battalion), 12th SS Panzer Regiment, 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitlerjugend" outside 75 Rue de Bayeux in Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. The tank was struck the with repeated PIAT hits. The Panther, attempting to escape, hit an improvised mine of 75 grenades and was knocked out.
3:04 Note the reflective tape around the Panther, this was places around the tank to alert drives at night.
3:08 Panther in Paris.
5:19 a Panther Ausf G towing a broken A, towing other broken Panthers or Tigers was actually prohibited by the German high command, because the Panther was already pron to breaking down.
6:13 A British captured Panther nicknamed Cuckoo, this tank was found in a barn during the battle of Overloon and was fixed up and used by the 4th Coldstreams Guards armored battalion,
it would eventually see use in the battle for castle Geijsteren, were here long gun is singled out for praise as it was able to smash shells with unerring accuracy through windows and loopholes.
the castle was eventually completely destroyed in the battle and today you can still see the damaged Cuckoo did.
7:51 a Panther being overturned to clear a road.
8:45 Panzerfaust testing on a abandoned Panther, in Germany.
11:10 Knocked out Panther in Czechoslovakia, were it was towed trough the town Moravia
11:27 several abandoned Panther tanks along the road in Germany.
11:42 Panther tank was abandoned on the Karlsplatz in Muchen at the end of the war. This tank was sent to the United States for testing and was originally located at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. It was transferred to the Patton Museum at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where it was displayed for many years before being sent to Fort Benning, Georgia, in 2011.
You can clearly see the late war two tone camouflage pattern.
12:30 The only Panther Ausf. F footage ever recorded, it said that only three Panther Ausf. F tanks saw action in Berlin, this tank like the other would not have had the newer Schmalturm (German for "narrow turret or Little turret") and would have been fitted with a G turret instead.
12:33 A dug in Panther in Berlin which is always mistaken for a PantherTurm on Instagram.
thank you for this 🙏🏼
How do you know it's a -F ?
@@jimmytgoose476 there are other photos of this tank - you can see the horizontal welds in the front/side join, and the sliding driver/Radio operator hatches.
These WWII images are stunning. Excellent video.
Merci pour nous remontrer ce fabuleux panzer qui est le plus beau char avec le jagdpanther
Magnifique
Extremely interesting reportage with rare and seized Panthers
Thank you glad you enjoyed watching it.

At 7:46 you can see on the back of the Panther that was captured and used by the British, it has an MNH style stowage bin on the left, and a normal one on the right.

Really interesting footage throughout
oh my lord, your the best youtuber when it comes to tanks bruh.. your pictures are already amazing, then you come up with footages of the tanks.. your the best, keep it up!!!
You're welcome and thank you for the comment 👍 👍 and support my friend.

Great channel! Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
These WWII images are stunning. Excellent video.
If you go to settings and play it at .25 (quarter) speed it all makes much more sense. And there is so much detail for modeling more apparent.
The best part for me is when americans are trying the panzerfaust in the tank (never seen that footage before). Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the comment 👍
Thank you

Très bon reportage 👍😉

Regular Tiger One's often unstoppable in combat, and got miraculously many times got their crews back to German lines, even with malfunctioning gearboxes and mechanical issues and even when it seems like they were out of fuel...
Tiger 1 in Combat is a Miraculously Performing Tank, SS Panzer Grenadier, often believe the 🐅 Tiger Tanks had souls of their own....

do you have the book "panzer in berlin"? it's a really good book with tons of picture in it (including the berlin panther F and the panzer IV hull that had the kugelblitz on it)
No I don't, but I have seen it on Google.
@@PanzerInsight the book has color painting that can be helpfull to visualize the vehicle and a map of berlin is also provided ,it show the location of the wreck that are shown in the book
Thank you for the tip, I will look it up.
@@PanzerInsight good! Watched the whole panther stream and it was nice to hear you dunk on the ronson myth (I did a "courrier des lecteurs" to truck & tank, they published it and they seem to have completely change their POV on the sherman and stopped calling it ronson, for me, it's the kind of myth with like the cleaan wehrmacht/rommel myth that will never really die thanks to bad WW2 documentary)
Beginning of the End . Now Yusuf and Ahmed will not even remember this war. They conquered Germany without firing a shot.
Sadly, thats true. The EU’s leaders are traitors to the European people. When Angela Merkel won’t even hold,not wave, a German flag on stage there’s a big problem.
@Teutonic Nobility This is a very good question, my friend. Good question .... Europe is now occupied, and that's a fact.
Why fight when you can win the war by stealth !
I agree completely.
Germany is now an emasculated shell of its former self. I'm obviously not condoning the war, but they have paid the ultimate price.
Great footage! Like the panther but give me an upgraded panzer 1V or tiger 1
11:20 dude just invented skateboarding.
okay! it was a great tank when it was driveable but between the weak tranny ( no alloys for the gears) and the notoriously weak final drive this tank spent more time riding the rails than on its tracks, just ask the french who operated salvaged Panthers for some years after the war. They rated this tank as a non strategic weapon due to breakdowns. Yes it is true.
Sadly it’s allied propaganda, it’s wartime.
Nothing to do with propaganda, the French documented this really well and this was mainly also after the war, so no need for propaganda anymore, the inter ARL44 project failed because of the use of German parts.
Lack of molybdenum manganese tungsten etc
Пантера отличный танк но Т34 -85 это шедевр танкостроения времён второй мировой войны.
Of course a Russian had to defend the t-34-85. By the way, the t-34-85 was relatively easy to destroy because it lacked the armor and the gun of the IS-2
I love it when the footage is titled "rare" even though it's almost completely from Deutsche Wochenschau ...
Panther Ausf.F is not from the Deutsche Wochenschau, also just because something is copied a million times doesn't mean it isn't rare footage.
@@PanzerInsight *almost completely. It's not rare footage at all. It's the usual propganda company footage that comprises almost every bit of film we see from those times. It isn't rare because everyone who visited a cinema during those days saw those films.
@Rubashow you need look up the definition of Rare, just because footage of a vehicle is copied, its only a few seconds of footage so it still makes it rare, it literally the only few frames of a Ausf. F. tank. With your logic the Bovington Tiger tank isn't rare because everybody knows about it and seen it.
Please tell me the source that this is Ausf.F. Where is it?
12:30
As they say, sexy as a panther
The Panther and Tiger families were way ahead of their time. What it must of been to command such a superior tank on the battlefield!
Yes and no, they had many problems, and would be obsolete after the war, I always see them as being to early for technology, because they did not have the engineering and technology to really make them work for 100% . Also a lot of other tanks were ahead of there time, this could count for the Stuart, the Ha-Go and the Vickers tanks.
@@PanzerInsight I totally agree that the tech wasn’t there for both tanks to reach their full potential. That’s one of the many reasons I believe that they were ahead of their time. But having said that I would still much rather be in either one of those tanks as opposed to what they were facing. When it comes to tank vs tank I don’t think anything came to close to possessing what the Tiger or Panther had. Even though it was much too late in the war most of their kinks were eventually worked out. Their firepower, mobility, protection and reload speed outmatched about anything they faced during their time.

Imagine if the panther 2 came out with a 88 mm . And they didn't waste resources on tigers .
So? It's not like they would win the war they would still lose. tanks aren't going to do anything when you airforce is dead

How many us soldiers died under king tiger fire???
Armor piercing incendiary rounds
I once read that the Nazis experimented with an up-gunned Panther with an enlarged turret and a long 88 mm, 105 mm and 120 mm guns and increased armor in the front. Does anyone know the exact model? Ausf D perhaps?
Don't remember anything on that, but they did try and fit bigger guns on the Panzer IV turret.
Il a servit jusqu'à 1955 dans l armée française une cinquantaine d exemplaires avaient été récupérés en 1945

Don't know as I'd want to climb into a tank that had been brewed up.
Some of these were burned up for pictures and video, or the Germans set them on fire, so probably wasn't as bad as you would think.

Cool gift for Kiev Army 😏
At 1:40 there is a Panther with a tactical number 126 and later we see a Panther numbered 128. The first digit represents the tank company, the second the platoon number, and the third is the number of the tank in the platoon. Since German tank platoons in 1944-45 had a nominal strength of 4 or 5 tanks, why would we see a last digit greater than 5? Just some ad hoc formation, or is there some other explanation?
Panter F was never used
They were in Berlin.
@@PanzerInsight Any source pls?I would like to look after a bit (panther is my favourite tank) My source is this: th-cam.com/video/rlCLikDTgjs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vWwIcsxBJ_FVJVL6
Source is this video and timestamps and information is in the comments.
@@PanzerInsight Yeah, forget what I said, I'm sorry
No Panther Ausf. F
12:30 is a F.
@@PanzerInsight To me that looks more like a normal Ausf. A with the round gun mantlet. the F had a flat turrent front right?
How many us soldiers where scared viewing that flag?
I like these tanks but I must constantly remind myself that these war machines were employed by a sadistic regime.
Soviets and Japanese weren’t any better.They did the exact same things,Japanese actually did it worse.
CHILDREN AT WAR ! WONDERBARHHHH,like in ukraine...
Panzer will mobilize again this year to eastern front against russia..germany already declare war against kremlin and agree to send 80 leopard mbt to ukraine..
They haven't declared war but have sent leopards which have taken losses
