Description

The Pz.Kpfw.V Panther tank is considered by many specialists to be one of the best tanks of World War II. Its reliable armor and powerful firepower made this tank a formidable opponent on the battlefield. Various combat vehicles were produced based on its chassis, including the armored recovery vehicle (ARV*) Sd.Kfz. 179 Bergepanther. One of the unusual modifications of this vehicle was produced in the 653rd Heavy Panzerjäger Battalion (Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653). A turret from another tank, the Pz.Kpfw.IV, was installed on the chassis of the ARV, thus converting the Bergepanther into a command vehicle. According to some researchers, this turret was fixed, and instead of a gun, its dummy was installed, allowing the space inside the armored hull, free from the gun, to be used for additional radio stations and work with combat maps. It is likely that such a modification was made only on one specimen. This vehicle was part of the combat strength of the Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653, and its use occurred in the spring of 1944 in the area of Ternopil, Ukraine.
