Text in original Preserved German Tanks publication:
This Ausf G was used against, and captured by, the Third US Army during World War II. It is now missing both tracks, all outer roadwheels and some inner roadwheels. It appears to be fitted with non-standard exhausts. Its engine and other parts were used in the restoration of the Museum’s Panther II tank. It has nine ‘kill rings’ marked on its barrel. It also carries the turret number “R03”, indicative of a regimental headquarters command tank. However there is no evidence that it is a Panzerbefehlswagen or that it was ever so converted. It is a very late version with camouflage rings on the turret sides and a cupola without the AA MG ring (source: L. Archer). An unconfirmed report has indicated that it may have been acquired by a private collector.
Text in Preserved German Tanks Update:
This Panther is gutted inside; the interior deck plates are missing and only the torsion bars and gun remain (source: G. Redmon). In October 2010 it was transported from Fort Knox, Kentucky, to Fort Benning, Georgia.
