Nice color profiles there Igor. What book are those from? I'd like to get a little bigger picture of the Panther there.

This profiles I find on this source: http://www.elgrancapitan.org/foro/viewtopic.php?t=10...

To my mind the turret numbers on Panthers of 2.Panzer-Division during the Battles of Normandy was red no white, similiar this color profile (really this Panther was from LW Panzer-Division "Hermann Göring"):

I`m sorry, dear STURMBOCK, but this very good Panther profile is of the 9.Panzer-Division. The turret numbers is from II./33.Panzer-Regiment which was equiped by Panther panzers.

Thanks
Igor

2:nd Panzer division Panthers in Normandy had black numbers outlined in white.
Also the trident mark was painted on the turret.

Cheers
Kent

I made the mistake of watching the movie "Is Paris Burning?" last night and while it is a terrible movie it does have a few seconds of real film of a disguised Panther. I took some photographs of my tv screen to see if there were any details to identify it and it turns out to have been a 2 PD vehicle as shown by the trident forward of the turret number.
