German Panther tanks ausf D, in military art prints showing Panther tank commanders, Ernst Barkmann and art prints of Panthers in action with 2nd SS Panzer division, 5th SS Panzer division and Army Group B.

To deal with the threat of the Russian T34 tanks on the Russian front it became imperative  to design and built a heavier tank for the German Army. After examining captured Russian tanks,   It was agreed that while the construction and design of a new heavy 6-0 ton tank  the Tiger was  built a smaller but effective 35 ton tank shod be also built. This gave berth to the panther. 

Weigth 43 tons,  Length 8.86 metres, height 2.97 metres, Width 3.43 metres.  Armament: 7.5cm KwK 42 L/70 carrying 79 shells.  plus two 7.92mm MG 34  Crew: 5   Max Speed: 46 Kilmetres hour   range 200 K

Night Drive to Manhay, Barkmann in the Ardennes, 24th December 1944 by David Pentland

Oberscharfuhrer Ernst Barkmann in Panther 401 accidentally found himself as the spearhead of the 2nd SS Panzer Division's night assault on the crossroads at Manhay.  Initially mistaking a lone Sherman of US 7th Armoured Division as that of his own commander, he pulled alongside the enemy tank, and only realised his mistake when he noticed it's unusual red interior lights.  In a brief close quarter fight he managed to destroy the M4 with the Panther's anti-personnel mortar (Panzergranate).  He then proceeded along the moonlit forest roads past a succession of surprised American units to Manhay and on towards Liege, having left several destroyed vehicles in his wake.  His appearance caused havoc in the US defences, culminating in a rout.

Barkmanns Corner by David Pentland Ernst Barkmann's (Das Reich, 2nd SS Panzer Division) famous day long solo engagement against an American Armoured breakthrough towards St. Lo, Normandy, 26th July 1944. Second in the series of German Tank prints.

Military tank print of the German tank ace, Ernst Barkmann by Military artist David Pentland. Oberscharfuhrer Ernst Barkmann in Panther 401 accidentally found himself as the spearhead of the 2nd SS Panzer Division's night assault on the crossroads at Manhay.  Initially mistaking a lone Sherman of US 7th Armoured Division as that of his own commander, he pulled alongside the enemy tank, and only realized his mistake when he noticed it's unusual red interior lights.  In a brief close quarter fight he managed to destroy the M4 with the Panther's anti-personnel mortar (Panzergranate).  He then proceeded along the moonlit forest roads past a succession of surprised American units to Manhay and on towards Liege, having left several destroyed vehicles in his wake.  His appearance caused havoc in the US defences, culminating in a rout.

Barkmann's Stand, by David Pentland. Ernst Barkmann  of the Das Reich 2nd SS panzer Division holds his position near St lo, Normandy 26th July 1944. against an American Armoured breakthrough.

 "Debut at Caumont", Normandy 30th July, 1944 by David Pentland The Jagdpanther was considered by many to have been the most potent anti-tank weapon of the war, combining the armoured lines of the Panther tank and awesome power of the 88mm gun. This was probably first demonstrated during the British advance through the Caumont Gap during "Operation Bluecoat" when the Jagdpanthers of Heavy Tank Battalion 654 engaged the Churchills of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. A squadron of Churchills covering Point 226 suddenly started exploding one after another. Breaking cover from the "Bois du Homme" 2 Jagdpanthers covered by a third proceeded to pick off more of the British tanks only retreating when they came under fire. Although the 2 Jagdpanthers had to be abandoned due to track damage, they managed to destroy 14 of the Scots Guards tanks in an engagement which lasted only 2 minutes!
