Operation Zitadelle by David Pentland   Panzer v Ausf. D "Panthers" of SS Panther Division "Das Reich" make their debut during the initial stages of the German summer offensive for Kursk. This unit with others of the SS Panzer Korps made the deepest advances into the well-prepared Soviet lines. Complete success however, was to elude them when outrunning their supporting divisions at Prokhorovka they were forced to halt for six days.

Barkmanns Corner by David Pentland   Ernst Barkmann's (Das Reich, 2nd SS Panzer Division) famous day long solo engagement against an American Armoured breakthrough towards St. Lo, Normandy, 26th July 1944. Second in the series of German Tank prints.

Barkmann's Stand, by David Pentland.   Ernst Barkmann  of the Das Reich 2nd SS panzer Division holds his position near St lo, Normandy 26th July 1944. against an American Armoured breakthrough.

"Rommel in Normandy" France, 2nd July 1944. by David Pentland   Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel, commander of Army Group B, consults with his former subordinate from North Africa, now divisional commander of the elite "Panzer Lehr", General Fritz Bayerlein and the Colonel Rudolf Gerhardt of "Panzer Regiment Lehr", over the imminent transfer of the division to confront the Americans at St. Lo.

 

 "Debut at Caumont", Normandy 30th July, 1944 by David Pentland   The Jagdpanther was considered by many to have been the most potent anti-tank weapon of the war, combining the armoured lines of the Panther tank and awesome power of the 88mm gun. This was probably first demonstrated during the British advance through the Caumont Gap during "Operation Bluecoat" when the Jagdpanthers of Heavy Tank Battalion 654 engaged the Churchills of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. A squadron of Churchills covering Point 226 suddenly started exploding one after another. Breaking cover from the "Bois du Homme" 2 Jagdpanthers covered by a third proceeded to pick off more of the British tanks only retreating when they came under fire. Although the 2 Jagdpanthers had to be abandoned due to track damage, they managed to destroy 14 of the Scots Guards tanks in an engagement which lasted only 2 minutes!

The Jagdpanther was probably the most effective variant o fthe Panther. A total of 382 had been built between January 1944 and March 1945.  Armed with the 8.8mm FLak Gun which had already proved itself as a devastating efficiency as a tank destroyer.  But until the panther was built no tank chassis was strong and reliable enough to carry such a formidable gun. The Jagdpanther was built by Muhlenbau und Industrie AG in their Brunwick factory. It was crewed by 5 men and carried 60 shells. it  had a range of 100 miles and a speed of 30MPH. it could engage the enemy vehicles at a range of 2,700 yards. (2,469metres.)

The Jagdpanthers was  organised into Troops of heavy anti0tank battalions consisting of 14 vehicles  per company and three companies to the battalion.  each Company was split into three platoons of four tanks and two kept as company HQ
