Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausf A
Another fantastic display at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. This tank is almost a quantum leap from the Panzer II Ausf C in the previous post. The Panther was developed as a response to the Soviet T-34 tank; 6,000 Panther tanks were built between 1943 and 1945. The tank is coated with 'Zimmerit," a layer of blended chemicals, sawdust, adhesives, applied as a defence against magnetic anti-tank mines. Main armament was a 75mm gun.
