Скачать или смотреть More Panthers Instead of Tigers: Could It Have Been Germany's Best WWII Tank Strategy?

During the Second World War, the German Panther tank emerged as one of the most effective designs on the battlefield.

Known for its impressive combination of firepower, armor and mobility, the Panther is often hailed as the best tank of the war.

Unlike the other "big cats"—the Tiger I and Tiger II—the Panther benefitted from a streamlined production process, keeping its costs and labor hours only slightly higher than those of the Panzer IV, the main workhorse of the German Army.

This efficiency allowed Germany to produce over 6,000 Panthers.

Given that the Panther's cost was less than half, and its battlefield effectiveness was nearly on par with, or sometimes even superior to the Tigers, it raises a critical question.

What if Germany had opted to focus resources on refining and mass-producing the Panther, rather than investing valuable time and materials into building the heavier Tigers?

Join us, as we explore the answers to these intriguing question.
