This combat vehicle was developed by the German company MAN in 1941-42 as the Wehrmacht's main tank. The Panther's combat debut took place at the Battle of Kursk, and later tanks of this type operated on all European battlefields. The Panther is considered the best German tank of World War II. It was armed with the Rheinmetall-Borsig KwK 42 cal. 75mm cannon. Only the heavy armor of the Soviet IS-2 and the American M26 Pershing was able to resist the Panther's shells.
