Please someone correct me if I am wrong though I am not that up to date on the tank identification accept for the obvious tanks. | It is a LTH Czech tank. 24 were built in Switzerland under licence in 1939.
In Swiss service it was called Pz. 39.
The design finaly developed into the Czech LT-38 (38t in German service) http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/s...land/Praga.jpg Switzerland |

Country:  | Aha thankyou. I was looking at it again after I said it was Panzer III and I knew that it was not a Panzer III. I really dont know why I said it was that at first. Thanks anyhow on the proper identification.

Country: | And a late model one at that - the early ones - up until Barbarossa - had a three part driver's/hull gunner's plate - only the later ones had a flat/straight one. That makes it an Ausf G if I remember rightly.

Country: | I chose Cromwell
No Tank expert but interested. My choice is influenced by something my Father thought. He served for 26 years in the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment, I'm bound to rely on him.
I wonder if the 'in the west' restriction here is to exclude the T34?
The best Tank isn't necessarily the right Tank.
A Tiger was a monster on the battle field of course, but also one to get there, I'll swear they would have done better to produce the many Panzer IV they would have got for their efforts instead of one Tiger.

You would of liked it. Here is a tiny bit of information on it.
History : On TV | Soren wouldn't, it explains how the Maybach was a crap engine.
To be fair, it did make one mistake: It blamed the Panthers unreliable gearbox on straight-cut gears, stating the helical-cut type of the Shermans as superior. Straight-cut gears are a hell of a lot stronger than helicals, as any engineer knows. I wonder what the engagement method was? It also has a Panther vs T34/845 suspension comparison, which is hilarious. 
It downplays British innovations though, like regenerative steering and gun stabilization. | |

I always thought the Panther was big like the Tiger, but I swear that looks like the High Velocity 75mm gun, so it must be the panther

Country: | Yeah it is a Panther but to me the wheelbase looks a bit short however the rest of it looks like a Panther which means it is (likely) one.

| Don't tell me you guys actually doubt its a Pzkpfw. V ??!

Country: | I don't doubt it, it is a Panther but most of the pictures I have seen it has what appears to be a longer wheelbase than this one - probably just the angle of the photo though.
