[Panzer V]

I/Pz Rgt 39 1945 Panther in the vicinity of Ostava, former Czechoslovakia. Same "242" Panther from three differnet angles. Interesting front schutzen.

I am not an expert on IR, but I believe it has the box attached to the rear beside the exausts.
1st-photo via Czechy.

Vicinity of Konigsberg, E.Prussia winter 1945.

This is a damaged vehicle collection point. The unit ID could be one of several units, most probably I/Pz Rgt 31 or I/Pz Rgt GD.

Liberation Lvov summer 1944.

No ideas as to the unit ID of the Panther in these pictures. It could be one of several in the area summer 1944.

Not sure if it is the same Panther or multiple Panthers in differnt locations in the square that were disabled and in need of repair.

2 more Panthers without proper caption. No idea on location or unit ID.

Any help ID-ing these shots would certainly help out all forum users with an interest in this topic.
