that's for sure. The Panther was a fantastic tank and pretty easy
to manufacturer (the armor anyway). I actually saw a (the?) Panther
II at the Fort Knox Armor Museum in Kentucky. Big sucker, but not
as big as the Tiger II... let alone the Maus.Did Allied tank crews have a similar rotation off the battlefield as the pilots did? You know, complete a certain amount of missions or kills and then rotate off into a training roll? I know that's a big part of what doomed Japan during the air cmapaigns.
ChrisK:
The Panther was like a super-T-34, but lacked the simplicity and low cost of the original, although it could certainly take it one-on-one. The PzKpfw VG Panther at the Panzermuseum in Munster, Germany, was still running the last time I was there (over 10 years ago now). Fantastic piece of work. There are several Panthers and King Tigers around in various museums, but that Panther II at Knox is the only prototype of that vehicle.
Allied tank crews didn't have a rotation policy. As far as I know, no nation did that for tank crews. Might have been a good idea in some cases.
