Panther dozer
Panther dozer
Used to clear debris on german bombed cities, I got no info about it but the except (May 1944) I think it could be a recycled tank and only exist one vehicle.

Also, the gun might have been removed so that it could be put to use fighting some where else, rather than doing nothing in the Panther Dozer.
I would also think that the gun was removed to prevent it from getting damaged by falling debris and masonry from collapsing walls etc when the dozer was clearing rubble. They might have wished to keep the gun from gettig damaged if they had wanted to be able to use it again.

hi there
if I'm correct the modification seems to be a german one and used by the germans
another picture is lurking on my HD with more people, seems to be workers from a tank factory
You can find the posted picture in the Book "Gepanzerte Raritaeten auf Raedern und Ketten bis 1945" by Wolfgang Fleischer
from Waffen-Arsenal (german Book)
in Mai 1944 the factories were allowed to use PIII/IV hulls to be modified
as Panzer-Strassenraeumgeraet (tank street dozers oder simply dozer tanks)
and appearingly one PV Panther D was also used
my 2 cents
