The Pz.Kpfw V (SD.Kfz 171) Panther is a German medium tank, considered one of the best tanks of World War II. This vehicle was a response to the Soviet T-34. The first production versions appeared as early as 1942, but the Panthers first appeared on the front in the summer of 1943, in the Battle of Kursk. Due to the very high failure rate and numerous vehicle "infancy" problems, 150 of the 204 used vehicles were lost. Interestingly, however, only a few of these 150 cars were lost as a result of the Soviet bombing. After eliminating these shortcomings, the Panther became famous as an extremely effective tank.
