As much as I enjoy this " what if " I can only take credit for the copy and paste as someone else has already brought this up.
Initially the Soviets would still be routed. It is one thing to have 10,000 T-34/76 it is another to have the effective leadership on the battlefield to use them, and at this stage the Germans had complete superiorority over the Soviets but one factor that the Panther might have come into effect earlier at least a year earlier. But whatever the result Germany was doomed either way.
