Description
The Panther design adapted many of its successful design characteristics from the T-34. These were mainly the sloped armor, and the wide tracks (to make maneuvering in snow conditions of the Eastern front easier). In September 1942 the first prototype was tested and immediately pressed into service. Despite delays in production due to the lack of manufacturing equipment of the hull, the first rushed deliveries to the German Army were completed in December, but the tank was plagued by technical problems. Despite these early issues, the tank was very successful, and due to its high demand on the Eastern Front, the original production of 250 tanks per month at the MAN plant, was increased to 600 tanks per month in January in 1943, which resulted in production also being allocated to the Daimler-Benz, Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen-Hannover (MNH), and the Henschel & Sohn plants to meet production quotas. Due to Allied bombing throughout the war, the required production amount was never met and only 6,000 in total were built.
