<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8377450, member: 77704&quot;]The &quot;panzer arm&quot; of the German wehrmacht had very mediocre tanks from Polish/ French/ campaigns to Barbarossa. The units were supberbly trained but had inferior tanks/ with puny guns inadequate armor. By July 41/ German panzer commanders were horrified by what the Soviets put against them in the form of&nbsp; T-34/ KV-1/ KV-2s. Famed tank ace Hermann Bix found his PZKW-III s gun could not penetrate the Soviet tanks at point blank range/ so he got his gunner to aim for the barrel! By late 1942/ Porsche and Henschel gave the panzer arm a new toy/ one that would dominate the battlefield&nbsp; to the end....the PZKWVI or the &quot;Tiger&quot;. Twenty German aces would achieve 100+ kills with this tank. The Panther (PZKWV) was another cat that would take tremendous toll on the Red Army tank formations. They built 1600 Tigers from 42-45/ about 1200 were lost to enemy action/ their crews knocked out 25K Russian / Allied tanks. The most dangerous cat was the JagdTiger/ in 45 one knocked out 3 Shermans with one 128mm. round. During WW2 the Soviets lost 120K tanks.[ATTACH=full]1486677[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
