Hello boys

I recently found on the net two wrecked Panthers.
Fortunately, in the both cases the pîc's caption indicated the location of the wreck.

The first Panther is an early ausf D, destroyed near Bebra, in Germany.

The location + comparing the two shots, permitted me to identify another wreck - better known - as the same tank :

Note than a better quality pic can be found in the volume 4 of the excellent "Panzerwrecks" serie. According to this book, the Panther could belong to Pz. Ausb Verband Franken.

The same work can be done with this second Panther, captured in Hameln, Germany.

the comparison with another tank - sold on Ebay some years ago - is successful :

The tank could belong to 116 PD.
