Strong tank in the Second World War | German Panther
Panther Tank
The Panther Tank is the 5th updated tank of the Panzer Tank Group, developed by German Tank Specialists. As a result, it is also called Panzer 5.
This tank contributes to the battles of the Western and Eastern Front of Europe during World War II. That was from mid-1943 until the end of World War II. This tank was renowned as a powerful medium size tank during World War II.
The first tank in the Panzer tanks, which began to be built before World War II, is called the Panzer 1. Then they create a group of Panzer tanks called Panzer 1, Panzer 2, and Panzer 3.
The Germans were able to complete the first tank in early 1943. Later, it was included in the German Panzer Tank Division, the most famous of the Germans.
Produced by MAN AG, a renowned industrial engineering company in Germany, it weighs about 44 tons. With the main weapon, it was 8.66 meters long and 3.42 meters wide. The height is nearly 3 meters. Inside main weapon The KwK 42 L / 70 was a 7.5-barrel, capable of carrying 79 bullets at a time. As a sub-weapon 7.92MG 34 Two machine guns were capable of being mounted, and 5100 ammunition was used. In addition, the tank is covered in strong armor.
There were five tanks in the tank, five of them being the commander of the tank, the operator of the subwoofer, the main weapon operator, the driver and the bullet.
One of the most famous battles of the Eastern Front during World War II, the Kurks used many Panther tanks in the Battle of the Half. Also, the German Panther Tank played a major role in the Allied invasion of the Normandy landing, an important battle on the Western Front on July 6, 1944.

Tiger 1 in war Front
It was the most powerful tank ever built by the Germans during World War II. The Panzer Tank is the 6th most updated Panzer Tank in the world, and is therefore called the Panzer 6. The German tank engineers had begun to build the Panzer Tank Tank from 1938, and in June 1941, the German forces invaded the Soviet Union at the Barbarossa, Russia’s T34 medium-sized tanks and KV-1 large-scale tanks. See you.
Hitler says that a larger and more powerful tank should be built with more firepower and defensive armor than these tanks. Porsche and Henschel have been asked by both the Porsche and Henschel companies to make models for the Panther tank. The last date for the presentation of the model is Hitler’s birthday. That was before April 20, 1942.
Porsche is producing the VK 4501 (P) model. The company has been introduced with the letter P The model produced by Hanschel is called the VK 4501 (H). The company has been introduced with the letter H Both models were designed before Hitler’s birthday, and Nazi leaders decide to use the Hanschel model, the most powerful and robust design of the war. The Tiger 1 tank is the longest name of the Tiger 1 tanker. E stands for.
Known as the 8.8 cm KwK 36, the main weapon produced by Krupp Industries, the tank was capable of carrying 92 bullets. The Tigger 1 is capable of serving as the German’s most powerful tank, as this weapon is larger than the Panther tank.
The sub-weapons consisted of two 7.92 mm MG 34 weapons. The two weapons carry 4,500 and 4800 bullets, respectively. The maximum speed is 45 km / h, while on the barred battlefield its speed is estimated to be 20–25 km / h. It is possible to travel 195 km on a road without refueling and 110 km on a barrier road. However, the mechanical problem was that the steel wheels of the tank were trapped on the muddy battlefield. This feature is often seen in the fighting in the Eastern Front. As a result, the speed of the tank is often reduced.
The first sighting of Tiger 1 tanks was the 1942 Tunisian Axis Front. These tanks were able to amaze the British troops in these battles. In addition, the Tiger Tank is used in battles in Italy, Normandy, and most of the Eastern Front.
Natsin’s Tiger 2 — King Tiger
Natsin’s Tiger 2 tank
Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf is the long name of the Tiger 2 tanker, a German product of World War II. B is. It’s shortened and called Tiger B. It is sometimes referred to as the Royal Tiger and the King Tiger.
This tank is much heavier than the Tiger 1 tank and will outperform the Tiger tank by the same length and width. With the main weapon, its total length exceeds 8 meters and the width of the tank is just over 3 meters. Its height exceeds 3 meters, and it is more than a Tiger 1 tank.
The most important thing here is the stronger armor than the Tiger 1 tank. The armor of the Tiger 1 tank ranged from 25–120 mm. Also, the armor of the Tiger 2 tank is between 25–185 mm everywhere in the tank. The Tiger 2 was the strongest armored tank in World War II. The sight of a Tiger 2 tanker on the battlefield was one of the most alarming of the Allied tanks, and the ammunition of the Allied tanks, such as Sherman 4 and Churchill, was easily destroyed by ammunition.
The main weapon of the Tiger 2 tank is the 8.8 cm KwK 43, which can carry 80 bullets at once. The 7.92 mm Maschinengewehr 34 (MG 34) was fitted as the sub-weapon of the tank, capable of carrying 5850 bullets at once.
Also, a crew of specialists must be stationed near the battlefield to maintain the tank. The time and effort required for maintenance is also very high. The fuel consumption of the Tiger 2 tanker is very high and this is the reason for not producing large number of tanks.
The first battle to use this tank, the Tiger 2, which is equipped with a powerful armor and a powerful shotgun, is the Battle of Normandy. The Tiger 2 tank is capable of inflicting serious damage on the Allied tanks. However, the failure of the war tactics they pursued in this battle resulted in the Allied victory in the Battle of Normandy.
At the end of World War II, many tiger 2 tanks were destroyed on the battlefield, and many of the crews, knowing that they were losing the war, would destroy their tiger 2 tanks. In addition, several of the Tiger 2 tanks captured by the Allied forces are on display at military museums in various countries.
