The Panther was a tank of Germany in World War II that served from mid-1943 to end of the war in Europe in 1945. It was intended as a counter to the T-34, and to replace the Panzer IV and III, though it served along with them and the heavier tanks until the end of the war. It is considered the best tank of WWII alongside the Soviet T-34/85.

Until 1944 it was designated as the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther and had the Ordnance inventory designation of Sd.Kfz. 171. On 27 February 1944, Hitler ordered that the tank only be known as Panther.

The panzer was used by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. In the Ardennes still some Panthers can be seen like this one.
