WW2 Panther tank in German mans basement.

It took about 20 soldiers almost nine hours to extract the tank - which was without its tracks

Yes, this thing was a major threat for sure.  Just think about everything one person could do with it. :rolleyes:  /sarcasm

What a find! Some people consider the Panther to be the best tank of WWII because of the balance of fire power, armor and mobility.
It transmission was the weak link. It was designed for a much lighter vehicle. The French used captured Mark Vs after the war until they could build their own tanks.

 

The Sherman or Zippo was a pitiful tank by comparison, at least in the armor and gun but for every one Panther we had 10 Shermans. Same with the Soviet T-34, but it did have decent sloped armor.

Be sure to see if the seller inlcludes the shipping or not. That could be hefty.
