How to kill a Panther

From Soviet instruction pamphlets showing how to fight a Panther :





And from a similar pamphlet for the Ferdinand :

 

nice. very very nice indeed

 

Very useful instructions, provided of course, that you can get close enough to aim at those forementioned "vulnerable" areas.

 

I wonder if the gunners took the time to preview the "hot" spots when they had a Panther in their sights. I doubt it. The moral to the story seems to be "don't take them on from the front!".

 

the main answer would get close and shoot it in the ass

 

The book doesn't just magicaly materialize in their hands if and only when a Panther is in their sights. A good crew would take notes of these charts and memorize weak spots.

 

Damn!Missed the pamphlets before they changed to the red crosses.Unless of course the red crosses are target aiming points hehe! :lol:

 

From the officer to the sergent, "sergent kill that tank".

 

Ahhhhh, now I see the pamphlets. Hmmmm, I don't think there is much evidence by way of frontal shots penetrating the Ferdinand though. These pamphlets must have stemmed from just after the Kursk time as the Panther is an ausf D with the old commander's cuppola.

 

The shells hitting the front of both the Ferdinand & the Panther are red, with no range/caliber info attached.
Is this to show "do not bother"?

We need someone who can read Russian to translate the key for us.

 

Nice pamflets! Absolutely...
Hey, I know someone who can read and translate Russian, but I very much doubt whether she'll be interested enough in these sort of cases that she wants to translate... :-?

 

It's worth asking.
Offer to buy her a drink. Or ice cream. Or Chocolate.
Or all three!

Let's be serious about this, please!
Old Joke-A panther was killed at Twycross Zoo when thre skinheads threw a Penguin into its enclosure,---It choked on the wrapper!!
Not very funny but about as usefull as the Russian info.
I mean, how do you find a translator of Russian in the Ardennes?

Sorry, just in case you need a translator for the above,
A Penguin is a chocolate bar!!!!

 

:lol:

 

Best I can tell, the red shells mean that either you must get lucky, or have the most accurate gunner in the whole Soviet Army. Shots like those would be a trick even for a modern-day tank from any significant range.

Very nice pamplets, we must have an interpreter!

 

They are very interesting, indeed. Was anything like this ever issued by the Western Allies to their tank crews?

 

can anyone tell wot the shells arebecause the red might mean armor pirceing and so on

 

Alright everyone,
I see the Russian used above raises many questions. I'm going to try and find someone who can translate this for us, the only problem is I meet her when my high school season starts again which is in a week or two. So please have patience, I try whatever I can. She'll problably know many of the words used in the pamflets. ( I hope :lol: )

 

look at this pic and it survive to tell about it
