A Panther Ausf. G can be found in the village. It fell into the river during the Battle of the Bulge and was later retrieved as a memorial. U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Museum, Fort Moore, USA. Four Panthers in the collection: Ausf. A; Ausf. G; late Ausf. G; Panther II hull (with late Ausf. G turret added as placeholder after the war).
The Schmalturm was to have been fitted to the Ausf.F and the Panther II. Model of Panther II (with 80 cm diameter Tiger II wheels and transport tracks) with proposed Schmalturm, with a stereoscopic sight bulge on each turret side Panzerkampfwagen Panther II. An up-armoured Panther with revised suspension.
The 7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70 (from 7.5 cm Kampfwagenkanone 42 L/70) was a 7.5 cm calibre German tank gun used on German armoured fighting vehicles in the Second World War.The gun was the armament of the Panther medium tank and two variants of the Jagdpanzer IV self-propelled anti-tank gun.
The Jagdpanther (German: "hunting Panther"), Sd.Kfz. 173, was a tank destroyer (Jagdpanzer, a self-propelled anti-tank gun) built by Germany during World War II.The Jagdpanther combined the 8.8 cm Pak 43 anti-tank gun, similar to the main gun of the Tiger II, with the armor and suspension of the Panther chassis.
The Panther II was to be fitted with a new turret, the Turm Panther 2 (German "schmale Blendenausführung" for "narrow aperture variant"). [3] For a long time, it was assumed that the Schmalturm was designed for the Panther II, but it was designed after the Panther II had been cancelled and was intended for the Panther Ausf. F. [4]
The report confirms the opinion that thanks to the continuous improvement of its components, the life of the Panther tank has increased. The average lifespan of a Panther can now be roughly equal to that of a Panzer IV with around 1,500–2,000 kilometers between two major repair and maintenance processes. And, gearboxes also have a longer life.

The specially produced hull of the Bergepanther was largely similar to that of the Panzerkampfwagen Panther, although the modifications of the Ausf. G were adopted for it at the end of 1944. The crew consisted of at least three soldiers, with the device being operated by two soldiers in the vehicle.
