Where It All Began - The First Panther
The Ausf.D was the debut variant of the famed German WWII tank Panther.
It offered a complete performance package, with firepower from the
imposing L/70 7.5cm gun, excellent protection afforded by its sloped
armor, and maneuverability thanks to a roaring 700hp gasoline engine.
Around 840 Ausf.D Panthers were produced between January and September
of 1943, and the first time it appeared on the battlefield was in the
Battle of Kursk in July of that year. While it wasn't all smooth
sailing, Panthers were still able to take out some 140 Soviet tanks from
a range of 1,500 to 2,000 meters, all the while protected impeccably by
their sloped plate. The Ausf.D was followed by improved Ausf.A and G
variants, and while the Panther was unable to stop the tide from turning
against Germany it nonetheless revolutionized German armored vehicle
design, and remained on the front line until the end of hostilities.
