Best of the blitzkrieg
Lighter, faster, and cheaper to produce than the Tiger I, the Panther was designed to take on numerically-superior Allied tanks and turn the tide of war back in Germany's favor. The first test of the design came at Kursk, a singularly unforgiving testing ground that saw most of the original tanks destroyed by enemy fire or suffering mechanical breakdowns. Despite impressive Panther kill tallies, Kursk was a bitter defeat for Germany. After Kursk the Panther was used in a series of defensive actions on the East and West fronts, unsuited to its design.
