Summary edit
| Description |
Caption from the book "Panther vs. Sherman" for this photo (p. 14) states: "This Panther Ausf. G of the 1st SS-Panzer Division was knocked out in the fighting near the Baugnez Crossroads and has suffered a catastrophic ammunition fire, evident from the blown-out sponson floor sitting on the tracks (NARA)"
The 50mm armor of the side superstructure on the Ausf. G Panther could be penetrated by all Allied tank and anti-tank guns at normal combat ranges. The 75mm M4 cannon could penetrate this part of the Panther at 400m, and the 76mm M4 cannon at 2800m. Panthers could "brew up" and burn just as fiercely as the M4 Shermans when struck in their ammunition stores. | ||
