WS377 The Drinking Soldier

Over the years, KING & COUNTRY has produced quite a number of different "Panthers"... Next to the "Tiger" it's probably our most-produced German tank!

Originally designated as the Panzerkampfwagen V it soon became better known as "The Panther" to friend and foe alike. With this tank the Germans finally had a fighting vehicle that could counter the Soviet T34. The Panther copied, adapted and improved many of the characteristics of its Russian opponent. It proved to be an excellent combination of firepower, mobility, a wider track and good armour protection. From 1943 until 1945 just over 6,700 of all variants were produced.
