1 Isle of Wight Military Museum Managing Director Dave Arnold and his team of restorers take on the task of refurbishing a 1944-era World War II British Comet tank rescued from an army ordnance firing range. Hoping to have it ready for the museum's 2006 Tank fest, they have only 4 months in which to complete their task. “PzKpfw V Panther"
Primary armament would’ve been either a 105, 128, or 150 mm gun, while armour ranged from 100–120 mm (3.9–4.7 in) frontally and 80–100 mm (3.1–3.9 in) on the sides. Powertrains varied from the original 800 hp (600 kW) HL230, to a proposed 1,000 hp (750 kW) Maybach petrol engine, planned for the heavier designs, with a pair of Porsche ...
The armour was 35 millimetres (1.38 in) thick on the casemate front, 50 millimetres (1.97 in) in the hull front, and 30 millimetres (1.18 in) on the hull sides. It was issued to tank and self-propelled gun units starting in the fall of 1943, [ 40 ] and finally withdrawn to training and testing uses in early 1944.

Rheinmetall's turret design had a rounded shape and was armed with a 3.7 cm gun above the 7.5 cm gun, while Krupp's turret was more rectangular and had the 3.7 cm gun mounted beside the 7.5 cm gun. Both turrets were also armed with a co-axial MG-34 machine gun, along with the two sub-turrets at the front and rear of the tank.
The result was that, for the rest of the war during 1945, the greatest threats to the tanks of the Western Allies were no longer German tanks, but infantry anti-tank weapons, such as the Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust, infantry anti-tank guns, such as the ubiquitous 7.5 cm Pak 40, and tank destroyers, such as the Marder, StuG III, StuG IV, and ...
