More photos with Panthers whose unit I do not know.

1st photo-This could be a captured Panther. Not sure.
2nd photo-Fall 1944 shot in the west, I believe.

3rd photo-movie still from Normandy. Could be a SS Pz Rgt 2 Panther-no firm ID on this one.

Any ideas? Speculation?

All the best,

Arthur.

This is a set of Ausf Gs going through some kind of maintenance with a crane.

I see a "7" on one of the backs of the turrets. It is a Heer Panther, so it could be II Pz Rgt 33, or II Pz Rgt 23.

The buildings look western european, so this could be France.

Any thoughts?

Arthur.

More photos that could use some captions.

1st photo-"301"-this profile is labelled "unit unknown".

2nd photo-A colourised photo of an Ausf D with very crude zimmerit. This could be a SS Das Reich Panther autumn 1943.

3rd photo-the mystery of Panthers 435 and 438. This is winter 43/44, but which unit?

More mystery Panthers. No idea of the units involved.

The first shot is supposedly Czechoslovakia in 1945.


The last 2 shots are from the new "Endkampf" book which I have not yet bought.

More photos.

3 more unknowns.

1st-a colour profile of the previously posted A12, A11 Panthers. Looks like it had zimmerit, which was unknown to me before.
2nd-2 Ausf As with grenadiers, eastern front-which unit?
3rd photo-impossible to ID, I know, but someone might know something.

These 3 are re-posts of pics I posted badly-warped, rotated-before I got a bit better at posting. Here they are fixed somewhat.
Again, no idea as to the units.

Another RE-POST fix-up this was originally 1 shot, and now I have cropped it to 3.

This is a gasoline drum loaded Panther winter 43-44. This could be I Pz Rgt 2, but not sure.

i think SS Pz-Rgt 5 for the 3rd photo, or maybe SS Pz-Rgt 3.
