When I saw the Panther and Jagdpanther right next to each other at the US Army Ordinance Museum, Aberdeen, Maryland, you could see that the slope of whole side armor (right above the tracks) of the hull superstructure on the Jagdpanther represents the same angle of the side hull armor of the Panther. Beautiful design relation. I ran my bare hand on this chunky hard cold steel side armor .... Perfect combination of speed, mobility, firepower, and protection .... ❤️
@@grabherbythepony1487 Die Sache ist simpel. Kein Turm und somit kein sehr flache Silhouette. Dann seine enorme Reichweite. Die 7,5cm Hochgeschwindigkeitskanone, das perfekte Leistungsgewicht des Panzers. Zudem die enorme Geschwindigkeit und Wendigkeit. Der Jagdpanther war nicht umsonst neben dem Tiger und Panther äußerst gefürchtet. Dann die optische Zieleinrichtung die von Carl Zeiß aus Jena kam und hochauflösend war. Und nach dem Krieg wurde genau nach dem selben Prinzip ein Jagdpanzer konstruiert Nämlich der Kanonenjagdpanzer 90mm.
@@peterkemna1008 Junge, informier dich doch mal... im Jagdpanther war keine 7,5cm Kanone eingebaut, du Kek. Die niedrige Silhouette war gut, ja. Aber die StuGs haben ihre Arbeit auch hervorragend erledigt und wenn du die Aspekte Bewaffnung, Mobilität, Störanfälligkeit, Beschaffungsaufwand und Panzerung betrachtest ist wohl der SU-85 oder der SU-100 der beste Jagdpanzer.
@@usmc5977 the comment is moot. if the these guys had been there in numbers and working as intended even when it was all really over as in d-day it would still have been some terrifying extra losses.

@@usmc5977 You do understand that ground- and airforce are supposed to work in tandem right? Tanks are not made to fight planes not now, not back than...
One of the biggest reasons why germany lost ww2 they dont have enough oil the running german war machine if they had it enough oil the ww2 would have another story
yup you seen the panther video where the panther just reached 40km/h in a breeze? or the king tiger that reaches 40 allot faster? german tanks weren't slow.. thats all allied propagando to make sure suicide crews would rush tigers hoping to kill it simply because a general said it was slow....
I love Sherman tank in all of it's variants. It's one of my all time favorite tank series. However, you have to admit that even the M4A3(76)W HVSS was near-hopelessly outmatched by PzVs and VIs. Only the Firefly had a realistically fair shot of defeating them. At least the M4s was a good match against the PzIIIs and IVs (tanks that the M4 was anticipated to encounter) but the experience of the Geman crews, as well as their far superior optics, guns, and projectiles still gave them the edge.
Gosh I envy that driver having great fun driving that beast around as if it was a toy! Besides being impressed with his driving skills I was impressed with the very good genetal restoration and in particular with the notoriously difficult engine! Not once it was spluttering or smoking despite being pushed quite hard and the sound was marvelous! If you compare with the Tiger of bovington museum you can hear the difference! The Tiger engine is less harmonious, more ragged and smokey! Did the Germans employed a veteran to do such a marvelous restoration on that engine? The only flaw on that Jagpanther is the left exhaust pipe as it was only installed on the Panther A! A curious mistake! Anyway I would love to drive around that beast! God job!
Paolo Viti The two ladies from Koblenz (Ute/Jagdpanther 234 and Ulrike/Panther 801) have very late model Maybach HL230 not the HL210 of the very early model Bovington Tiger. They have been in "active duty" during the development of the Leopard 1 and the "KaJaPa" so they got some more maintenance and the "best available" spares. They also had the benefit of being always "active" or "stored in reserve" and so their general state was always very good, basically they are not restaurations but well maintained oldtimersIn the case of 801 she is a "Ausf. G Too late" (build from existing parts for the british army post Mai 1945) so she is likely the best preserved Panther anyway
Michael Brinkhues thanks for the info! It makes sense! Yes I know very well that two "ladies" has the later Maybach HL230 whilst the Bovington Tiger has the first series HL210 and that the 810 was built from existing parts together with, if I'm not wrong, other 4 Panthers! Nevertheless I think that they did a hell of a good job!
more amazingly is that the JP achived a confirmed kill at 4.5km range just imagine that in ww2.... sitting in a T-34 or Sherman kknowing you need to cover 4km to geting the JP into your own kill range.... even a IS2 was dead meat at that range
Great, I look forward to seeing those. Whatever you do don't add music, V12 sounds are much better. Right, I'm taking my 1/16 rc Jagdpanther for a drive now after watching your video. I've also got a Panzer 3 r/c so I enjoyed watching your other video.
Just listen that engine!! Awesome!! Fully restored jadgpanther with zimmerit. I wish I could see restored jagdtiger. Germans has always been building the best cars and tanks in the world... and they continue it now
Nice bit of footage, you need the next one without the crowd or buildings in the background if you can, We'll be transported to another time. Thanks for posting and in good quality too.
If you like the Jagdpanther check his little brother the "Hetzer". Half the size, half the cost, veeeery effective, specially in ambush engagements, and very much loved by its crews.
Superb..and one that I don't have as a 1:16 RC model. I have 3 x all metal Taigen Tiger 1, King Tiger, Panzer IV, and a Panther G. Would love a Jagdpanther!
@m19o3 Das weiß ich leider nicht auf Anhieb. Da aber meines Wissens die Originalwaffe drin ist, könnte der Panther, verfügbare Munition vorausgesetzt, noch feuern. Ich frage mal die Fachleute.
Does your truck actually have the engine of a WW2 tank or have you ever taken such an engine apart? I'm damn sure that the guys in the video know what they're doing.
Fantastic to see this!!! The allies have to count theirselves very lucky that the Germans produced it too late and too few............ It also has a very 'sexy' silhouette. Sehr schön. Vielen Dank.
From a book on tanks I once read: "German tanks were slow and not very mobile in terrain, making them more suited for defence positions". I say bullshit.
Yeah they were quite fast actually. There are some Videos of Panthers going full speed. Even Jagdtigers reached 40km/h. (video: Jagdtiger surrender Iserlohn)
Awesome bit of kit...my fave the Panther and Jagd...Germans certainly knew how to make tanks look good.if I was a sherman crew and heard it coming..reverse gear and get hell out of there
Well it's lighter than it would have been 70 years ago and depending on the terrain it might get bogged down by mud or soft ground. The sherman's advantage was ease of manufacture and repair. German high command insisted on developing increasingly bigger and more complex tanks that couldn't easily be repaired due to lack of interchangeable parts.
mrsparkle001 The Panther and Jagdpanther were faster than the Sherman both on-road and off-road... the Sherman also didn't have what would be considered a very good ground pressure, what is called track floatation or "track lift"... due to its narrow tracks and less sophisticated suspensions system ( some modern tractors have better suspension) a Panther or Tiger could cross soft or boggy ground completely impassable by the Sherman... German tanks could also climb grades and over obstacles faster too. The Panther and the Tiger were designed and built on an entirely new concept never conceived by the Allied planning depts.... a revolutionary concept now widely adopted around the world known as "Force Multiplication" cheers!
doktorbimmer-UR That's not all true. There were bridges and other areas shermans could cross that tigers could not. But the biggest problem for the tigers and panthers was their complicated construction and fuel cost. It was a bigger problem with the even lager king tigers and elephants. Some would break down after just a hundred yards and had to be abandoned. They could have built many, many more panzers and had the capability to repair them all had they had some sense. It's exactly what the US did.
this is just so amazing, thx for posting! btw, does anybody know where this footage has been taken? If this is some kind of Panzer festival in Germany? any webside or infos would be great, thx!
Majha87 Most likely taken in the late 60s/early 70s when "Jagdpanther 234" aka Ute was used as a "yardstick" during the development of the Jagdpanzer 4-5, Kanone, 90mm aka "KaJaPa" of the Bundeswehr. The WTS in Koblenz has some nice vids (sadly not for sale :( but if you go there you can watch them in the museeum) that show Ute and a KaJaPa together on the range.
+Majha87 The Title says that's in Trier. It's just a small display of vehicles ... and they have only like 5 ww2 tanks. 1 Stug 3; 1 Bergepanzer; 1 Jagtpanther; 1 Kettenkrad; 1 Panther and 1 Luchs. They don't promote it loudly. In fact my best friends dad works there and they allmost canceld "Tag der offenen Tür" in 2016. www.foerderverein-wtd41.de/ (Homepage)
is Jagdpanther designed for stationary ambush? it looks like a bunker. it has no turret, it has turn the whole tank to attack enemy on the side or behind. it's definitely not good for attack and run at the same time.
badass looking and highly successful war machine; it's only downside was the lack of numbers. Germans didnt knew they had a gem in their hands with the panther series. They should of discontinued the more expensive heavy tank Tiger I and II production, and concentrate on the panther as main battle tank and jagdpanther for extra fire power when needed. Tiger I cost of production cca. 30% more then a panther and less effective
@chipmunk126 Su-100 pwns JP any day But why did they choose 234, and then put zimmerit on it. Photos shown 234 clearly without zimmerit, and rightfully so since it's a late G1. was this chassis actually one of the 654 G1 late?
@FWDORA9 Thanks! It was a presentation of historic tanks at the Technical Center for Automotive and Armored Vehicles in Trier, Germany September 2009. You can contact me under the inwive adress for more information.
-SMGJohn- ... its WAS probably the best tank of the war. 650HP -700HP Diesel??? in case you weren't up to speed on Diesel engine developement of the era... such an engine did not exist in 1942. In fact, the Maybach V-12 with its very compact size, low weight and high HP output is considered by many experts the best tank engine of WW2.
Emil Antonowsky Yes, basically the V-2 with higher injection pressure and a higher rpm limit. Increased vibration and wear only shortened the service life even further... the KV-1 was under powered and no larger engine was available. from then on all V-2 variants were limited to 500hp until the super/turbocharged versions after the war. The V-2 was too large already, nearly twice the size of any other tank engine, it took up nearly two thirds of the available hull space and caused some serious design problems, like turret placement. Cheers!
Junkers built 880hp diesel engines before WW2 and those were used in airplanes. Smaller versions of the Junkers diesel engines were used in trucks and tractors. It would have been quite easy to fit one into a tank. The technology to build a powerful, turbocharged diesel engine certainly existed in the early to mid 1940'ies.
MrAstrojensen Ah Yes! the Jumo 205! Truly an amazing piece of engineering.. yes its true it did exist.. and did produce the prescribed power output... it was also small, relatively compact and lighter than a Maybach Hl-230.. but about twice the length Unfortunately these engines cost something like 10 times the price of the Maybach... which was not cheap to produce either.. It would not be until the late 1950s to 1960s that mass produced supercharged/turbocharged Diesels were economical enough for general use and for AFVs Cheers!
The real doktorbimmer Actually Dr. Maybach was working on a 10 cylinder 830HP diesel that would be a "drop in" replacement for the HL230 series. His work was delayed because a certain guy thankfully considered the diesel for the "Maus" more important. The same guy also decided not to give the Panzer V the stronger final drives of the Mobile Bunker VI and not to wait for the second gen turret.Thankfully because in the 1950s/60s the germans basically build such a beast - the Leopard 1
Absolutely beautiful. The way those Jagdpanthers look and sound you'd think they were the sports cars of armor.
When I saw the Panther and Jagdpanther right next to each other at the US Army Ordinance Museum, Aberdeen, Maryland, you could see that the slope of whole side armor (right above the tracks) of the hull superstructure on the Jagdpanther represents the same angle of the side hull armor of the Panther.

It would not be until the late 1950s to 1960s that mass produced supercharged/turbocharged Diesels were economical enough for general use and for AFVs
Cheers!
The real doktorbimmer Actually Dr. Maybach was working on a 10 cylinder 830HP diesel that would be a "drop in" replacement for the HL230 series. His work was delayed because a certain guy thankfully considered the diesel for the "Maus" more important. The same guy also decided not to give the Panzer V the stronger final drives of the Mobile Bunker VI and not to wait for the second gen turret.Thankfully because in the 1950s/60s the germans basically build such a beast - the Leopard 1
