Topcolors 15001 - Arkadiusz Wrobel, Robert Wroblew ski - Pz.Kpfw. V Panther (2007).jpg

Painting schemes of Panther tanks, like any other German combat vehicles of WWII era, evolved with time and were specific to various theaters of operations. Nevertheless, they were consistent with norms and standards operative in the German Armed Forces. Obviously, there were exceptions to the rules. Those were usually caused by lack of suitable paints and multiple overpainting of a particular vehicle.
A major change in the camouflage system of the German combat vehicles, which stemmed from frontline experiences, occurred in early 1943. It had been discovered that the commonly used dark gray color (Panzergrau) offered hardly any camouflage in open steppes of Russia. This fact led to mounting losses among the ranks of the Pan-zerwaffe. Following Army Communique (Heeresmittei-lung) HM 1943 No. 181, dated 18th February 1943, the dark gray was replaced by dark yellow (RAL 7028) as the base color for all German vehicles, supplemented by red brown (RAL 8017) and olive green (RAL 8002). The three colors served to create a great variety of painting schemes. Factory-fresh vehicles were supplied in the dark yellow factory base coat, to be painted at unit level with disruptive patterns of red brown and olive green according to regional and seasonal requirements. In winter most Panthers were painted with white distemper. Winter coatings differed, too. Some tanks were carefully camouflaged, whereas others only perfunctorily. In some cases only turrets were whitewashed. There were also more elaborate patterns in use, aimed at breaking up the outline of the vehicle.

Tanks - AFV Armoured Fighting ... - Ted J. Hartman, J. Ted Hartman - Tank Driv...rom the Battle of the Bulge to VE Day 2003.jpg

"We followed the acting company commander as his tank started up the narrow road [into Noville]. There were destroyed buildings and disabled German tanks and vehicles everywhere we looked. I was the driver of the fourth tank in the column. It was getting dark and hard to see, so I was driving with my head partway out of the hatch. There was a church on our right and a small crossroads just beyond it. As we passed the crossroads, I saw the burning phosphorus of an armored piercing shell go over my head. Were we in enemy territory? All of a sudden, someone on the radio said, 'The tank of the third platoon leader's been hit.'... I closed my hatch and turned the periscope to look back toward town. I saw many German soldiers filing out of buildings." -- from the book Tank Driver is the story of a young man's combat initiation in World War II. Based on letters home, the sparse narrative has the immediacy of on-the-spot reporting. Ted Hartman was a teenager when he was sent overseas to drive a Sherman tank into combat to face the desperate German counterattack known as the Battle of the Bulge. Hartman gives a riveting account of the shifting tides of battle and the final Allied breakout. He tells about the concentration camps, the spectacle of the defeated Germans, and the dramatic encounter with Russian soldiers in Austria that marked combat's end. This is a vivid, personal account of some of the most dramatic fighting of World War II.

Squadron - Armour 23 - Jim Mesko - M60 Patten in A ction (1986).jpg

When World War II ended, the United States possessed one ot the largest armored forces in the world. The main battle tank of this force, the M4 Sherman was a robust and mechanically reliable vehicle, which had been introduced into service during the middle of 1942. Unfortunately by 1945, despite some upgrading of both its armor and armament, the M4 was at a decided disadvantage when it met German Tigers and Panthers.
Belatedly, Army officials tried to maka up for lost time, pushing development of a number of tank designs which could hold their own against the heavier German tanks. By early 1945, one of these new designs, the M2G Pershing Heavy Tank «as juOywO teaUy kn Md use, and a number wore rushed lo Europe to help shore up hard pressed American tankers. The M26 Pershing did much to redress the balance between American and German armor, and performed extremely well in the few encounters with German tanks which occurred before the war ended.
With Germany's surrender Army officials were able to examine the latest German tanks and designs under development. At the same time rrost of the latest Soviet tanks, many of which totally outgunned anything in the US or allied inventory, were examined. These examinations had a very sobering affect on American armored officers. As a result, attempts were made to upgrade the M26 Pershing, and to develop a successor to it, so as not to fall behind the Russians.

Squadron - Armour 39 - Nicola Pignato - Italian M edium Tanks in Action (2001).jpg

The British introduced tanks into combat on 15 September 1916. late in their Somnie Offensive during World War One. The British - soon followed by the French and Germans -deployed tanks in an attempt to break the stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front in France and Belgium. The mountainous conditions of the Italian Front, where Italy faced Austria-Hungary between 1915 and 19IX, were not considered ideal for effectively employing the early tanks. The Italian Comando Supremo (High Command) did recognize the potential of these new weapons and acquired a Schneider C.A.1 medium tank from France in 1917. This vehicle was tested on terrain similar to that found on the Italian Front.
The Italians planned to purchase a limited number of tanks: however. Italy's defeat at the Battle of Caporetto (24 October-12 November 1917) and the subsequent retreat to northern Italy's Piave River halted tank procurement for the time being. A French Renault FT was delivered to the Regio Est-rvito (RiW\\ Italian Army) in July of 1918. followed immediately by three others from France. An order was placed at that time with Fiat for 1400 license-built FTs for completion by May of 1919. Only 100 Fiat-built FTs were completed when World War One ended, and the remaining order was cancelled.

Squadron - Armour 28 - Jim Mesko - M-551 Sheridan in Action (1991).jpg

Although the Army was generally satisfied with the M41 Walker Bulldog tank, it was decided during late 1952 to begin development of a new vehicle to fill an Army requirement for an air transportable/deployable light tank. While the M41 was capable of being carried by existing transport aircraft it was not capable of being dropped by parachute.
The Korean War had underscored the need for the Army to be able to rapidly deploy forces to trouble spots on a moments notice. To meet this requirement a lighter, smaller tank that could be airlifted into combat was needed. While efforts were made late in the M41's production run to upgrade its armament nothing could be done to reduce its overall weight and size. This led to the Army's decision to develop a totally new vehicle.
The first vehicle the Army examined was a proposal from Cadillac, designated the 171. Armed with a 76mm cannon, this design was smaller, lighter and less expensive than the Bulldog. Lightly armored, the 171 had a relatively conventional layout In the event, the Army decided not to issue a production contact.

Warmachines 4 - Francois Verlinden - Israeli M4 S herman and Derivatives (1990).jpg

The history of the Sherman tank in service with the Israeli Defense forces began only a few minutes following the departure of the last British soldier from the ramp at Haifa harbor which at that time ended 30 years of British mandate in Palestine.
it was on 14 May. 1948. when technicians of the "HACANA" entered the former British camp at "TlRA" in the south of HAIFA, with the task of evaluating the possibility of assembling one or more Sherman tanks from the hulls and turrets found on the grounds.
The first Sherman tank that entered service in the newly formed Israeli Defense Force was an M4A2 with a welded hull and sheet metal side skirts. This particular tank was nicknamed "TAMAR" which was written on both sides of the turret in traditional Hebrew script.
The new Israeli Army decided to purchase as many AF.V.'s as possible from surplus stocks from the U.S.Army both in Europe and the Pacific, a decision implemented by a limited budgetary envelope.
A small quantity of Sherman M4A1's with 75mm gun and M4A3's with 105mm Howitzer gun were purchased from U.S. camps in Italy and the Philipines. The holes drilled through the barrels to demilitarize the guns were sealed and welded by IDF technicians (who had no previous experience) upon which the tanks were distributed among different fighting units with the famous 7th Armored Brigade receiving the batch of the available tanks. After the Independence War. more Shermans were purchased from surplus sources around the world. This eventually initiated a long period of Sherman service with the IDF which spanned 40 years and has not ended yet.

Richard M. Ogorkiewicz - Technology of Tanks (Volu mes 1-2) (1991).jpg

A specialist on armoured vehicles has produced this book on tank technology. Richard M. Ogorkiewicz examines the major aspects of tank design, from the ballistics of tank guns and fire control systems, tank engines, steering systems and suspensions to the various types of armour. He also examines the impact of guided missiles on tank development, different facets of mobility and cross country performance, and innovations such as electromagnetic and thermal guns and active armour. The technology of tanks is put into perspective by an outline of the evolution of tanks and an up-to-date review of their development throughout the world - from the USA and USSR through to new developments in Brazil and South Korea.
