Haa...sorry about that one. I started mixing Panthers with Ferdinands somehow. Donīt know where Panthers started their own separate journey in my head during this autumn...And the story on those 8 Panthers was that I was looking for signs for these tanks elsewhere than abt 51 and 52, as there are stories of them in Prokhorovka with LAH ( or 2nd SS panzer corps as a whole )but that seems to be before 1997. The number of 40 tanks operational for the beginning of Zitadelle looks like the correct number.
After Kursk Abt 51 stayed with Grossdeutschland, and Abt 52 with 11th panzer div by the " Panther tank" book.
That was a bit of a mess so thanx CrazyD!
