Real life tank battle between a Pershing and a Panther.

What beautiful footage. Simply remarkable.

If only the Pershing was deployed a year earlier, things could have been very different for the tankers.

I'm curious, does the Screaming Eagle Hardware Company actually exist?

I did a quick search on Google and didn't find anything about it. The only thing I found was a computer company that had no apparent history of selling military vehicles.

Brought up that video here some time back. What I dont like is that they show the Sherman commander with a lost leg but not the Panther driver bailing out and getting sniped.

its not a sniper the panther was hit 3 times one in the side hull, 2nd round on the front of the turret, 3rd round a little low near the front. Good ideas he was killed by tank fire.

Im sure theres a video with the guy abandoning the panther gets sniped. If you look closely you see that the part where the panther is taking fire is cut alot of times.
